(NASDAQ: AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops, and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today introduced VMware HyperArmor, a new software solution to help further protect the VMware ESX hypervisor component of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) against the exponential increase in cyber attack sophistication by closing exposure windows without disrupting the workloads that depend on the host. \"Frontier AI has changed the three V's of cybersecurity threats - the volume, velocity, and variety. When attacks come at machine speed, reactive detection and patching are no longer enough,\" said Paul Turner, chief product officer, VMware Cloud Foundation Division, Broadcom. \"VMware HyperArmor takes a different approach by allowing only what is 'known good' to run on the host. With VMware vDefend already delivering virtual patching capabilities for the network layer of VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware HyperArmor now expands that protection around the hypervisor component itself.\" As AI-accelerated threats grow in scale and sophistication, the threat surface now extends across every layer of the infrastructure stack including the hypervisor.
