Lumension® Application Control for vShield™
Improve Your Virtual Security and Performance
As more organizations leverage virtualization to achieve significant cost savings and agility, they have implemented traditional security solutions, such as anti-virus. But with more than 2 million new malware signatures now identified each month with anti-virus solutions only identifying roughly 20 percent of malware within the first day of its existence1, clearly a different approach is needed to secure virtual environments. By taking a proactive approach to securing the virtual datacenter from the rising volume of sophisticated attacks, organizations can gain the necessary visibility and control of all applications – and ultimately improve virtual security and productivity, while reducing cost.

Lumension is the leading application whitelisting solution provider for endpoint environments and has partnered with VMWare to deliver the industry’s first introspection-based application control solution for virtual environments. This revolutionary solution provides unparalleled security that addresses the deficiencies of traditional approaches. With Lumension Application Control for vShield, organizations will be able to:
- Extend vShield™ Endpoint for Robust Virtual Machine Security Beyond Antivirus
- Ensure the Most Effective and Immediate Protection Against Stealth and Zero-day Malware
- Eliminate Scan-Related Performance Impact with Signature-Free Protection
- Improve Manageability of Whitelisting Policy through Agentless Design
