Join us for our next virtual online event in The Power of the Platform Series, brought to you exclusively by Palo Alto Networks. In this 60 minute session, we will focus on Host Security and best practices to secure VMs on any public and/or private cloud. Get ahead of the latest cloud native trends and requirements for protecting cloud virtual machines. Hear from Bain & Company, the world’s most ambitious change makers in global consultancy, on how they have managed to stay ahead of these trends by implementing a comprehensive approach when it comes to cloud native security. See how easily your security teams can continuously monitor hosts for vulnerabilities, ensure compliance, and protect their running workloads from anomalies and active threats.
Linux and Windows® VMs are central parts of many organizations’ cloud native application portfolios. VMs offer isolation, compatibility and control suitable for running nearly any type of application, and they give users a wide range of use cases when running cloud workloads. At the same time, hosts require a combination of vulnerability management, compliance monitoring, runtime protection and network security to ensure they are secure. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get the latest requirements for protecting your cloud virtual machines. Get an in-depth view into how leading experts are staying ahead of the industry trends with an ever growing set of Host Security capabilities.
