VMware is strengthening the security of its VMware product line with VMware Contexa, which blocks threats that other solutions fail to identify.

VMware (CEO Raghu Raghuram), a global leader in enterprise software, today unveiled VMware Contexa, a complete threat intelligence solution that applies across VMware's network, endpoint, and user technologies.

VMware Contexa dramatically enhances VMware's unique lateral security capabilities, providing robust security for customers' modern and existing applications in multi-cloud environments.

This shifts VMware's perspective on traditional security analytics and further strengthens its security and management portfolio.

VMware Contexa is a complete threat intelligence cloud that can identify and block threats that other solutions cannot. Because it sits exclusively within the infrastructure, it can observe and understand the inner workings of modern and existing apps across all stages, from users to devices, networks, runtime, and data.

VMware Contexa records and processes over 1.5 trillion endpoint events and 10 billion network flows daily, including strategically curated threat intelligence data secured through technology partnerships.

This vast data is then analyzed again using machine learning and insights from over 500 researchers across VMware's threat analysis team and incident response partners.

Currently, VMware Contexa can detect over 2.2 billion suspicious activities daily, detecting over 80% of these events with zero touch and enabling incremental and automated responses.

VMware Contexa is integrated into all VMware security products and is available to new and existing customers at no additional cost.

Building on its pioneering experience in virtualization, VMware offers differentiated virtual machine (VM) protection and is also leading the way in modern app security innovation.
