AppDefense shield applications run in vSphere environments and various cloud environments. NSX and AppDefense complement each other, but NSX is not mandatory for AppDefense services. If AppDefense is integrated with NSX, automated response techniques like automatically quarantine a compromised data center endpoint can be leveraged. AppDefense is outstanding in a new security model which has a native, purpose-based, and application-centric approach. AppDefense will do the same job for compute that NSX does for the network, by creating least-privilege environments for business applications. We can monitor running applications against their desired states and can investigate them with an automated response to attacks that try to exploit applications.
AppDefense is distinctive, as it is located in the hypervisor kernel to better interpret the desired state...
