Agentless security was first introduced to the market in 2010 by VMware and its leading security partners. Originally focused on anti-malware, agentless capabilities have expanded to include areas such as IDS/IPS, integrity monitoring and web reputation/URL filtering. In subsequent years, customers have deployed this new technology across platforms and in a variety of use cases such as server consolidation, desktop virtualization (VDI), compliance/PCI-sensitive workloads and now for network virtualization and micro-segmentation with VMware NSX. In this session, attendees will hear from a cross-section of industry professionals who have deployed agentless security in these scenarios and can speak to its numerous advantages such as improving consolidation ratios/VM density, simplifying and automating security provisioning and increasing protection/reducing the attack surface of VMs. Attendees will hear case studies from UF Health Shands Hospital; A&W Food Services of Canada; and the University of Pittsburgh.

As of July 15, 2014, more than 400 data breach incidents have been reported, creating the need for organizations to identify and understand their core data in order to protect and build an effective defense strategy to keep them secure. A change in mindset, organizations initially need to determine which information they regard as "core data" before devising a plan on how to protect it.
