VMware Annoints Blue Lane for VM Patch Management

VMware anoints Blue Lane for VM patch management[/url]

[i]In security circles, Blue Lane is practically unknown, but people that have seen it in action are impressed. Jeanne Johnson, principal and co-founder of Server Centric Consulting, a VMware Authorized Consultant (VAC) in Kansas City, told her engineers to "shred" VirtualShield in the lab before she would recommend it to customers. They came back to her and said 'It makes so much sense, it's scary,' she said.

Johnson was particularly impressed with Blue Lane's approach of applying security changes at the network level. "When we realized that all these Patch Tuesdays could have been addressed at the network level for the past three years -- and we didn't know it -- we thought, Holy #$%!'"[/i][/b]

Fighting Security Ghosts in the Virtual Machine- InformationWeek[/b]

The unfettered growth of virtual machines means it's time to seize on the technology's capacity to improve security while avoiding new security pitfalls. That's exactly what Blue Lane Technologies had in mind Thursday when it introduced the equivalent of an intrusion-prevention system for virtual machines running on the VMware Infrastructure 3 platform.[/i]
