Container orchestration has brought unparalleled agility - but at what cost? Here is an IT dilemma: an application hosts its front end in a Kubernetes pod, while keeping its mission-critical database on a virtual machine. The result: a significant security policy gap between VM and container workloads. Addressing this gap between DevOps and enterprise security teams with a unified approach is vital.

Join us to learn how integrating VMware vDefend with vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) accelerates your Zero Trust microsegmentation journey. 

We will show you how to:

• Unify lateral security with centralized policy management across all your workloads
• Bridge the gap with a continuous security boundary between containers and VMs
• Enable container security co-ownership between security admins and app owners
• Futureproof security for any workload from ransomware and advanced threats
