Agentless Anti-Virus with Seraph: A New Paradigm for Security in Virtual Environments

Agentless Anti-Virus with Seraph: A New Paradigm for Security in Virtual Environments
Anti-virus or anti-malware (“AV”) is considered a standard, baseline security requirement for all enterprises.
However, typical AV solutions often cause brownouts (AV storms) in virtualization environments leading to significant performance degradation or down time as well as operational headaches. Security vendors have taken a number of steps to minimize the performance impact of their products and improve their operation in virtual environments.
Evolution of the virtualization platform itself is helping address these issues, and the new VMware Seraph APIs are allowing AV to run as a service on the vSphere platform. . This new “agentless AV” architecture lowers the performance and management impact of security across VMware-based servers, desktops and clouds. This session describes the improvements security vendors have been making this past year and covers technological concepts behind the Seraph APIs, and how security vendors leverage and integrate with it. Early findings, including tangible performance improvements, and other business benefits that organizations can realize with this new approach, are provided.
