Best Practice Network Security
Protection for Guest VMs

Catbird’s proactive VMShield is
Information Security for the Guest Network

The popularity of Network Access Control (NAC) in the physical world is a testament to the convenience and peace of mind of such automated watchdogs knocking out unwanted or unrecognized visitors. But how can NAC devices work if the systems monitored are hidden by the virtual host? Only a NAC that resides inside the virtual network itself is capable of assuming these responsibilities. Only Catbird’s groundbreaking V-Agent delivers this protection.
