vSphere Hardening Guide 5.5 Update 1 Beta 2 released

After a lot of great feedback from the community, here’s Beta 2.1 of the vSphere Hardening Guide for vSphere 5.5 Update 1.

There were some editing mishaps (cut off cells in the Excel sheet) that have been fixed since the Beta 1 release.

Also, all the *-no-self-signed-certs guidelines have been updated to be more in line with the contents in the ESX Security Whitepaper.

You can get the Beta 2.1 of the guide from the Security and Compliance Community.

The goal is to release this updated Hardening Guide the 1st week of June.

Thanks for all the great feedback. I look forward to getting more!
