"The growing frequency and cost of security incidents points to a fundamental flaw in security models that focus solely on chasing threats," said Tom Corn, senior vice president, security products at VMware. "AppDefense delivers an intent-based security model that focuses on what the applications should do – the known good – rather than what the attackers do – the known bad. We believe it will do for compute, what VMware NSX™ and micro-segmentation did for the network; enable least privilege environments for critical applications."
