Fortinet, VMware deliver virtual, physical network security [Global Data Point]


(Global Data Point Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Network security company Fortinet has announced a proof of concept designed to secure traffic traversing virtual networks at the hypervisor level. With this approach, the security enforcement point is no longer required to be directly in the flow of traffic on the physical network and allows for injecting security controls before the traffic traverses the virtual network layer. The proof of concept will show secured traffic flow in VMware's NSX network virtualisation platform that highlights security policy enforcement of communication across and between physical and logical workloads. This proof of concept will debut at VMworld 2013 in San Francisco from 25-29 August. In addition to the proof of concept, Fortinet will also be running nine of their currently available virtual appliances in their booth during the show.
