NSX for vSphere - Agentless antivirus

[ISDTeam]

We are looking in to agentless integration of an antivirus product. McAfee, Trendmicro, etc, all require Guest introspection.

With NSX for vShield endpoint, the Guest Introspection is a free module that you can install.

Now we understand that NSX-V 6.4 EOL is extended by one year till 2023. After that NSX-T has to be used. But is the Guest Introspection module still a free module with NSX-T?

We only need the agentless integration of antivirus.

Hi,

McAfee "move vShield endpoint" currently does not support VMware NSX-T

Since NSX-T 3.0 vShield is the default license:

The default license upon install is "NSX for vShield Endpoint", which enables use of NSX for deploying and managing vShield Endpoint for anti-virus offload capability only.

This is from the release notes: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.0/rn/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center-30-Release-Notes...
