GDPR

Service Scope: VMware SD-WAN

The General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation [EU] 2016/679) is a regulation which will strengthen and unify data privacy rights for persons within the European Union (EU).

VMware can help to provide ubiquitous security from the hybrid cloud to the end user, and across the data lifecycle. We do this by embedding security into the hypervisor and extending that through to the end user, reducing the complexity of managing IT security. This approach gives you a powerful platform on which to build, run or manage any application, anywhere and for creating a more secure environment where you can compete while staying in compliance.

Status: In-Progress

Not all tests are built the same.

When evaluating third-party test results, watch out for:
 

  • Vendors who only participate in sponsored testing, where they control the test
  • Vendors who opt out of rigorous prevention tests such as NSS Labs AEP
  • Vendors who do not adopt diversity in their testing strategy
  • Tests that only exercise a limited portion of the attacker techniques across the entire killchain
