Secure vSphere Deployments with Built-In Application Firewall
Get basic firewalling of traffic between virtual machines with vShield Zones, allowing for connections to be filtered and grouped based on the 5-tuple – source IP address, destination IP address, source port, destination port, protocol. Depending on how services are virtualized, this may be sufficient for security policies that do not require much granularity. For example, vShield Zones may be sufficient to secure email and web services within the virtual datacenter, by only allowing specific virtual machines to host email servers and web servers.
For more sophisticated application firewalling needs, upgrade to vShield App.
