Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], April 25 (ANI/BusinessWire India): VMware, Inc., (NYSE:VMW) today announced new capabilities that deliver strong lateral security across multi-cloud environments so customers can better see and stop more threats. VMware Contexa, a threat intelligence cloud powering VMware's suite of security solutions, finds that cybercriminals make only 2-3 lateral moves to reach their target.1 Preventing lateral movement requires an end-to-end view across users, devices, networks, apps, and data.
At RSA Conference 2023, VMware will showcase lateral security designed to better protect multi-cloud and enterprise branch environments.

The need to patch a problem in a program that is embedded in an existing system, perhaps to introduce or enhance security, is a common one, according to UC Santa Barbara computer science professor Giovanni Vigna. But, why would you do that? he asks rhetorically. Why not just write a different program? Because sometimes it s not possible, or it would require a very substantial effort, he answers. Sometimes, you re given a program to patch, and you don t have the source code to modify it at that level and recompile it. Many embedded computer systems, such as those in trucks, airplanes and medical devices, run on software for which the source code and the original compilation toolchain are unavailable, said Antonio Bianchi, an assistant professor at Purdue University who studied in Vigna s lab while pursuing his doctorate at UCSB. Many old software components running in these systems are known to contain vulnerabilities, but patching them is not always easy or eve
