Most #compliance conversations start after something breaks. But more teams are starting to ask a different question: what controls exist before that point — especially at the infrastructure layer? The #hypervisor often sits outside traditional security tooling. No #EDR. Limited visibility. And not much to show an auditor. We’re sitting down with Chris Strand, Chief Strategy Officer at Vectera, and our CTO & Co-founder Austin Gadient to break down what that gap actually looks like—and how teams are starting to close it with ZeroLock. 📅 12pm EST on June 30 on our BrightTALK channel Save your spot: hubs.li/Q04kXnDw0 #Cybersecurity #PreemptiveSecurity #HealthcareSecurity #FinancialServices #CriticalInfrastructure #BrightTALK #Virtualization

As attacks on ESXi and other virtualization layers continue to rise, it is clear that traditional VPNs and workload-only Zero Trust are not enough. Our latest blog breaks down why Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) matters in the fight against ransomware and APTs targeting hypervisor management planes, and why identity-based segmentation and context-aware access are critical to closing the gaps attackers exploit. Read how extending Zero Trust to the virtualization layer with runtime preemption can help organizations better protect the infrastructure everything else depends on.

Rifleman’s Rifle Setup. Is the Horse Dead Enough? For the average prepared citizen I believe the baseline carbine should be a 5.56 scoped for precision with a top-mounted red dot for quick NVG/close work. Something in the 2–10x or 3–15x range gives the best balance: fast up-close, useful reach at distance. If you want one scope that fits that mission, look at the Leupold Mark 4HD 2.5–10 MIL (Illum) - it’s built like a tool, not a toy: First-focal-plane MIL reticle, illuminated (night-vision compatible), and tactile 0.1-MIL clicks so you can dial and hold with confidence. What really sells it for a rifleman: zero-stop/ZeroLock turrets (no accidental over-travel), Motion Sensor Tech to save battery, integrated throw lever for fast mag changes, and Leupold’s waterproof/fogproof, shockproof build - all the real-world reliability you want on a go-bag rifle. Some worthy of note; the reticle thickness was is not something I prefer. I would like it to be thinner, but the cost of that is an optic that is a strong choice for a fighting rifleman’s rifle. In plain terms: a 2.5–10 gives you fast target ID and decent reach; pairing that with a NVG-friendly illuminated FFP reticle and rugged turrets makes the Mark 4 a practical, combat-proven choice for someone who wants one optic to do many jobs.

#MFA is everywhere — email, VPNs, #SaaS. But one place it matters just as much often gets overlooked: the #hypervisor.

Most #cybersecurity tools protect what’s on the hypervisor—but not the #hypervisor itself. Here’s the truth: you can’t protect what you can’t see. Hypervisors manage critical resources in real time, but traditional tools lack the visibility to monitor this crucial layer. The result? A major gap in #security coverage that attackers are ready to exploit. This is where #ZeroLock comes in: a runtime security solution built specifically for hypervisors. ZeroLock closes that gap with continuous monitoring and #AI behavioral analysis to keep your virtual environment safe from threats. Ready to bridge the gap? Contact us today at hubs.li/Q036tJK-0 to learn more. #hypervisorsecurity #virtualization #infosec

We’re teaming up with top-tier vendors, solution providers, and industry experts to make securing hypervisors easier and more effective.
