Based on competitive performance testing run with Login Virtual Session Indexer, (Login VSI), GravityZone – SVE has the least impact on applications running in virtualized environments among virtualization security solutions

Simple and easy to deploy, lower implementation duration and cost

Delivered as a Linux Ubuntu self-configuring hardened virtual appliance, integrates with VMware vCenter, Citrix XenServer, and Active Directory

Cost Reductions Through Higher Server Consolidation

GravityZone Security for Virtualized Environments server consolidation by up to 20% when compared to traditional antimalware, reducing hardware needs and energy consumption

Scalable and resilient security

Eliminates single point of failure and AV storms, grows organically by cloning virtual appliances and automating deployment with golden images

Minimized Administrative Overhead

Combines simplified deployment and administration with powerful antimalware engines and security policies to help streamline IT operations while improving compliance

Multi-Platform Coverage

Optimized protection on all known hypervisors - VMware vShield VMware ESXi, Citrix Xen, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat KVM, Oracle VM and more

Key Features

One solution

  • One console offering easy centralized management, deployment and enforcement of security policies to any number of endpoints, on any hypervisor, in any cloud;
  • One architecture enabling full visibility and control in datacenter and cloud through integration with Active Directory, VMware and Citrix hypervisors;
  • One agent covering any combination of virtualization platforms, private and public cloud providers;

Performance boosters

  • Centralized scanning offloads antimalware processes from each protected virtual machine to virtual security appliances;
  • Multi-level caching - de-duplicating scanning processes with two-layered caching mechanism;
  • Optimized Scanning – focused on the 10% capable of execution that may harbor malicious code;

Multiple security layers

  • Antimalware
    Antimalware and antivirus, including real-time protection for file systems, memory, processes and registry database;
  • Targeted attack defense and zero-Day Threat Protection through advanced threat control and advanced exploit detection;
  • Multi-layered anti-ransomware defense
    including similarity-based detection, advanced threat control against unknown ransomware, and anti-ransomware vaccine to halt the encryption process
  • Firewall
    Fully featured two-way personal firewall and host-based intrusion detection and prevention HIDS / HIPS;
  • Content Control
    Multiple thread filtering of web content to identify potential online threats;
  • Device Control
    Port and device control to enforce data protection policies;
  • Application Control Whitelisting
    Creates inventory of authorized applications and prevents the execution of malware or unauthorized software. Application Control Whitelisting is available for Windows platform only (starting with Windows 7 for desktop and Windows Server 2008 R2). Application Control Whitelisting should not be activated on File Servers.

Scalable and resilient

  • Application delivered as a self-configuring hardened virtual appliance based on Linux Ubuntu;
  • Employs fast and secure open source database MongoDB;
  • Load balancing on multiple security virtual appliances eliminates single point of failure;
  • Scales just by cloning virtual appliances;
