Virtualization and cloud computing in modern data centers provide the opportunity for significant equipment and operational savings, but require a new look at security architectures. Traditional security measures are proving ineffective and difficult to manage. This new infrastructure needs to be secured with stringent policies, maintain cadence with the ever-evolving threat landscape, and protect sensitive data - all at high performance. Such security solutions may be implemented and deployed as dedicated or virtualized network appliances or can be effectively implemented on SmartNICs in COTS servers.
