Building Resilience: Top 5 Explore Sessions on Networking & Security

The tools and technologies you use can have a major impact on your organization’s systems. That means security needs to be taken seriously—and increasingly, so does networking infrastructure. But keeping up with the latest developments in technology can be a challenge.  

If you’re looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve while building resilient network architectures and secure environments, you’ve come to the right place.  

We’ve curated the top five sessions from the VMware Explore Networking & Security track that are sure to give even veteran tech pros valuable insights into today’s trends, best practices and capabilities in this dynamic space. 


Solution Keynote: Harnessing the Power of Data and Intelligence for Today’s Changing Workplace [EUSK2765LV]

Modern apps are driving the need to span infrastructure operations across multiple clouds. Yet implementing multi-cloud can be complex, costly – and even dangerously slow.  

Join us to see VMware’s latest cloud innovations designed to bridge the gap between developer needs and infrastructure responsiveness. We introduce new cloud-agnostic solutions that consistently integrate infrastructure and security technologies across public, private, and local clouds to accelerate innovation and increase resiliency.  

In this session, you will learn strategies to optimize performance and lower costs with agile infrastructure, enable stronger ransomware defense with secure and resilient clouds, and modernize your existing environment to take on disruptive technologies, such as GenAI

Best Practices for Hardening Your VMware Infrastructure [CSXB2105LV] 

Enterprises of all sizes are under constant threat of damage caused by unauthorized access to their networks and infrastructure. Today’s sophisticated attacks continue to evolve and can run within complex, multi-cloud infrastructures and maximize their attack surfaces. Vigilance and best practices are the first defense to creating a more resilient environment.

In this session, you will learn how to evaluate your current security state, define your future-state cybersecurity strategy and harden your VMware environment.

Watch now to discuss how VMware Professional Services can help you understand your current security risk footprint and achieve a secure and resilient future state. 

SmartNIC – Advances in NSX and SmartNIC [NSCB2904LVD] 

A year ago, we launched DPU-based acceleration for VMware NSX, the ability to offload NSX services to the DPU.

Tune in to this session to learn more about key updates for this initiative. Get an architectural deep dive into the different NSX datapath models supported on the DPU. And find out about the benefits derived by leveraging the programmable hardware accelerator and what that means for performance. 

Breaking Barriers: Transforming Threat Detection and Response [NSCB3023LV]

Organizations have relied on disjointed technologies and tools that focus on individual security layers for too long. To stay ahead of threat actors, it is time to change the way we approach security. This paradigm shift requires us to embrace the next era of cybersecurity that combines human intelligence with AI to enhance visibility across complex environments and minimize black boxes.

Join Jason Rolleston, VMware Security Business Unit Vice President and General Manager, to discover unparalleled data insights with the latest groundbreaking extended detection and response solution (XDR) from VMware Carbon Black.

VMware IT Journey to Zero Trust Using NSX Micro-Segmentation [VMWB1719LV] 

VMware IT implemented micro-segmentation using VMware NSX Distributed Firewall to secure production applications—but did it work?

Watch this session for a comprehensive overview of how VMware IT deployed VMware NSX Firewall to secure production applications in public and private clouds.

This engaging talk will review use cases for micro-segmentation deployment, design considerations, day 2 operations (operationalization, roles and responsibilities), and lessons learned. Additional topics include VMware IT’s plan for accelerating micro-segmentation using VMware NSX Intelligence and how we plan to use intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) and identity-based rules to secure east-west traffic. We look forward to seeing you there.
