We have successfully installed and configured vCloud Networking and Security App, which is a hypervisor-based firewall that protects applications from network-based attacks.
vCloud Networking and Security App works with vSphere to provide protection, no matter where a virtual machine resides in a cluster. Virtual machines can be excluded from vCloud Networking and Security App protection.
We also learned that vCloud Networking and Security App firewall controls traffic based on the security group that contains vSphere objects in addition to network objects. We have also learned about flow monitoring, which is a traffic analysis tool that provides a detailed view of the traffic that passes through a vCloud Networking and Security App.
In the next chapter, we will talk about VMware vShield Endpoint and how we can use it to protect your cloud workloads from virus attacks. We will describe the benefits of vShield Endpoint and show how to monitor vShield Endpoint health status.
