Demo of the VMware NSX 6.4 Context-Aware Firewall

Показать описание

Context- aware firewall enhances the visibility at the application level and helps to override the problem of application permeability. Visibility at the application layer helps you to monitor the workloads better from a resource, compliance, and security point of view.

Firewall rules cannot consume application IDs. Context-aware firewall identifies applications and enforces a micro-segmentation for EAST-WEST traffic, independent of the port that the application uses. Context-aware or application-based firewall rules can be defined by defining Layer 7 service objects.
