VMware vShield Endpoint strengthens security for

virtual machines and their hosts while improving

performance by orders of magnitude for endpoint

protection. vShield Endpoint enables ooading of

antivirus and anti-malware processing to

dedicated security-hardened virtual machines

delivered by VMware partners. The solution is

designed to leverage existing investments and

allows customers to manage antivirus and anti-

malware policies for virtualized environments with

the same management interfaces they use to

secure physical environments.

VMware vShield Endpoint

Endpoint Security for Virtual Datacenters

What is VMware vShield

Endpoint?

VMware vShield Endpoint is a unique solution that optimizes

antivirus and other host and endpoint security for use in VMware

vSphere™ 4.1 and VMware View™ 4.5 environments.

vShield Endpoint improves performance by ooading key

antivirus and anti-malware functions to a security virtual

machine, eliminating the antivirus agent footprint in virtual

machines. This advanced architecture frees up system resources,

improves performance of antivirus and anti-malware functions

and eliminates the risk of antivirus “storms” (overloaded

resources during scheduled scans and signature updates).

vShield Endpoint enhances security with a hardened, tamper-

proof security virtual machine (delivered by VMware partners)

that uses robust and secure hypervisor introspection capabilities

in vSphere, preventing compromise of the antivirus and anti-

malware service itself. Demonstrating compliance and satisfying

auditor requirements are enabled through detailed logging of

activity from the antivirus or anti-malware service.

Administrators can centrally manage VMware vShield Endpoint

through the included vShield Manager console, which integrates

seamlessly with VMware vCenter™ Server to facilitate uniﬁed

security management for virtual datacenters.

How Does VMware vShield

Endpoint Work?

vShield Endpoint protects virtual machines and their hosts

against viruses, malware and other threats. vShield Endpoint

plugs directly into vSphere and consists of three components:

 VMwareEndpointSecurity(EPSEC)loadablekernelmodule

(LKM)tolinktheﬁrsttwocomponentsatthehypervisorlayer

vShield Endpoint monitors virtual machine ﬁle events and notiﬁes

the antivirus engine, via VMware EPSEC, which scans and returns a

disposition. It also supports scheduled full and partial ﬁle scans

initiated by the antivirus engine in the security virtual machine.

VMware vShield Endpoint streamlines and optimizes antivirus and anti-malware

deployments for virtualized environments.

When remediation is necessary, administrators can specify what

actions to take using their existing antivirus and anti-malware

management tools, and vShield Endpoint manages any action

withintheaectedvirtualmachines.

How Is VMware vShield

Endpoint Used?

Streamline antivirus and anti-malware deployment – With

vShield Endpoint, administrators only need to deploy the

enterprise antivirus engine and signature ﬁle to a single security

virtual machine instead of each and every individual virtual

machine on a vSphere host.

Improve virtual machine performance – vShield Endpoint

helps organizations securely achieve higher consolidation ratios

by ooading activities such as antivirus and anti-malware scans

from individual virtual machines to a single security virtual

machine on each vSphere host.

Prevent antivirus storms and bottlenecks – Administrators

can use vShield Endpoint to prevent antivirus storms and prevent

bottlenecks associated with multiple simultaneous antivirus and

anti-malware scans and updates.

Protect Antivirus security software from attack – vShield

Endpoint lets administrators deploy and run the antivirus and

anti-malware client software in a hardened security virtual

machine to prevent attacks that target antivirus and anti-

malware solutions.
