Micro-segmentation - Day 1 brings together the knowledge and guidance for planning, designing, and implementing a modern security architecture for the software-defined data center based on micro-segmentation. VMware NSX makes network micro-segmentation feasible for the first time. It enables granular firewalling and security policy enforcement for every workload in the data center, independent of the network topology and complexity. Micro-segmentation with NSX already helped over a thousand organizations improve the security posture of their software-defined data center by fundamentally changing the way they approach security architecture. Micro-segmentation - Day 1 is your roadmap to simplify and enhance security within software-defined data centers running NSX. You will find insights and recommendations proven in the field for moving your organization from a perimeter-centric security posture to a micro-segmented architecture that provides enhanced security and visibility within your data center.

The planning of micro-segmentation can be an overwhelming task because most organizations have tens to thousands of applications in their data centers. Knowing which applications and how to start planning for the implementation of a Zero-Trust security posture with VMware NSX and micro-segmentation is critical. As we go through VMware NSX Micro-Segmentation ¿ Day 1 Practical Guide, we will arm you with the knowledge you need to begin building a scalable methodology and planning for the applications you are going to secure. For immediate micro-segmentation needs, we'll take a look at VMware Log Insight. We¿ll cover the new feature in NSX 6.3 called Application Rule Manager, which scales up our ability to plan and implement Distributed Firewall Rulesets. And finally, we¿ll look at vRealize Network Insight, a product that introduces data center scale security planning and operations. We will compare and contrast when to use each tool, and demonstrate detailed step-by-step processes for using them.
