1 SOLUTION BRIEF SDN SECURITY FOR VMWARE DATA CENTER ENVIRONMENTS Purpose-built virtual security appliances will be increasingly used alongside hardware appliances to secure enterprise data centers, which are becoming increasingly dynamic due to rapid adoption of server virtualization and SDN SDN Security for VMware Data Center Environments Fortinet X with VMware Network Extensibility (NetX) API Controller Integration X is a Fortinet Virtual Appliance Solution for VMware that provides purpose-built integration for VMware-only environments, and interoperability with, vcns (vcloud Networking and Security), or NSX. It provides visibility into Virtualized Network traffi c on the hypervisor through direct API-level integration, and management orchestration to secure workloads in dynamic software-defi ned networks and infrastructure without protection and compliance gaps. Fortinet In-Guest Virtual Machines for Perimeter Security Fortinet offers a security solution for cloud and software-defi ned data centers and protects virtualized applications while enhancing the elasticity and mobility benefi ts of virtualization. It combines state-of-the-art network security and agentless monitoring to provide application protection. Benefi ts Next-generation fi rewall and threat prevention for VMware Automatic inspection on inter-vm network traffi c with hypervisor-level integration Real-time security policy orchestration for VM deployment Security rules and policies are provisioned on-demand as ESXi hosts and VMs are added Support VM migration to ensure security persistency 1

2 Today s Security Hardening Trend of Virtualization With virtualization and cloud computing technology, IT can provision Virtual Machines (VMs) to run a web application within minutes at a fraction of the cost of physical machines. Fortinet supports server virtualization platforms like VMware, Hyper-V, Xen, and KVM. There are a number of reasons why server virtualization has been so benefi cial, including hardware cost savings and decreased data center footprint. Fortinet Security VM Products Simply replacing hardware appliances with software ports running on VMs helps to improve cost and introduce data center agility.

3 Software-Defi ned Networking (SDN) Security Data Center Networking is going through a major overhaul driven by virtualization (server compute and storage) and convergence (data, I/O, and control network). Current work on network virtualization is focused on the Layer 2/3 infrastructure level, leaving advanced application features, such as content fi rewall and network IPS/IDS, to either hardware hair-pinning or software appliances complementing hardware-based services in the network. Rigid infrastructure will soon become the bottleneck as a new generation of applications demands a fully elastic platform in the cloud, public, hybrid, or private. Purpose Built for and vcloud Networking and Security X is based on the latest version of the Fortinet FortiOS, a security-hardened, purpose-built operating system, which delivers the advanced protection and performance that standalone products simply cannot match. It supports all the advanced NGFW/UTM features of FortiOS. IT administrators set IPS/IDS, AV, web fi ltering, etc., policies just as they would in any FortiOS deployment. Fortinet services work together as a system to provide better visibility and mitigation of the latest network and application threats, stopping attacks before damage can occur. This ensures the product is deployed from all ESXi hypervisors. X is a virtual appliance solution for VMware environments that provides purpose-built integration for VMware s Software-Defi ned Data Center (SDDC) and interoperability with and vcloud Networking and Security.

4 SOLUTION BRIEF: SDN SECURITY FOR VMWARE DATACENTER ENVIRONMENTS Leveraging a shared object database with VMware vcenter for easy creation of security policies, X makes process-intensive deployment of security services and policy enforcement with greater agility. X also supports live migrations of applications within clustered environments. With the VMware NSX compatibility integration, any host added will embrace the security zone policy, and these updates are real-time and dynamic for newly created services without normal time lag in the paper trail requests. With NetX API providing backward compatibility to VMware NSX manager, X can provide network visibility and inspection on East-West network traffic among VMs instantly. Secured by FortiGuard Beyond the platform integration, FortiGuard can be implemented to provide a continuous protection model in the integration with real-time sandboxing detecting new malware variants. FortiGuard helps recognize suspect content exhibiting malicious attributes, and investigate accordingly. X offers seamless Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) for Enterprise, Cloud, and Private Cloud: USE CASE The solution provides protection against network-level threats, detects and blocks attacks in real time, packet logging and attacker quarantine, and automated updates from the proven Fortinet Global Threat Research Team. Benefits Antivirus / Anti-spyware (AV) Protection against virus, spyware, worms, and other forms of malware Set and forget functionality to reduce security management overhead Automated content updates from FortiGuard virus, spyware, and heuristic detection engines USE CASE X inserts a virtual filter between vnic of the protected VM and the virtual switch (i.e. hypervisor-based security) resulting in a fully automated deployment of security services and policies. It provides dynamic security policy updates to enforce policy on newly created VMs (services) without requiring notification of the security administrator. Benefits Data loss prevention Identification and control over data in motion RegEx-based matching engine Common file format inspection Content archiving Firewall WAN optimization Web filtering Application control filter 4

5 The integrated solution provides full next-generation security functionality in one platform, accommodating different network and security functions. And the IT administrator does not need to guess how much network security is required. The joint integrated solution is the most costeffective, simplified, and secure approach to apply security policies when any hypervisor is provisioned on-demand.
