As organizations migrateto 100 percent virtualized environments, traditional perimeter-centricsecurity solutions are rendered insufficient. The integration of RSA'sinformation-centric security solutions with VMware vSphere 4 will enablepersistent, pervasive and scalable deployment of security solutions across thevirtual infrastructure."Security concerns often require organizations to make difficult choicesbetween the flexible, agile use of information, the need to ensure itssecurity, and the cost of trying to do both," said Dr Stephen Herrod, ChiefTechnology Officer, VMware. "To provide the best of both worlds, and makechoice, efficiency and control hallmarks of virtual infrastructure, VMware iscommitted to working with EMC's RSA security division to accelerate ourcustomers' journey to becoming 100% virtual.Together, RSA and VMware areworking on solutions designed to leverage the unique characteristics ofvirtualization to create new security paradigms and capabilities that can makevirtual IT environments more secure than physical ones."At RSA(R) Conference 2009, the companies will demonstrate practical examplesof this joint development inside the RSA booth, showing a proof of concept ofthe RSA(R) Data Loss Prevention Suite leveraging the capabilities of VMwarevShield Zones TM to deliver data loss prevention (DLP) via virtual networks. The collaborative effort between RSA and VMware demonstrates a key point ofcontrol that would enable customers to deploy DLP in the form of applicationsthat inspect data traversing virtual networks. This would help protectsensitive data close to the source using a centrally managed set of policiesand enforcement controls to prevent data loss in the virtual datacenter. Acombined VMware vShield Zones and RSA DLP solution is an innovative examplethat achieves a single point of security control without introducing a singlepoint of failure."As organizations work to expand virtual infrastructure deployments withbusiness-critical operations containing sensitive and regulated data,organizations need to rethink and adjust how they keep information secure in avirtual world," Art Coviello continued.

"Our combined approach addressescustomer concerns about risk and leverages the unprecedented visibility withinVMware vSphere 4 to increase overall security. At the highest levels, we arededicated to accelerating virtualization deployments and committed toinvesting in solutions, and working with VMware to help customers realize aflexible, efficient and secure IT infrastructure."About VMware, Inc.VMware (NYSE: VMW) is the global leader in virtualization solutions from thedesktop to the datacenter--bringing cloud computing to businesses of allsizes.Customers rely on VMware to reduce capital and operating expenses,ensure business continuity, strengthen security and go green.

Kempskie, RSA, The Security Division of EMC, +1-781-515-5915,; Nick Fuentes of VMware, +1-650-427-1104,. Yesterday, Daisuke Matsuzaka won his AL-leading eighth game to improve his record to 8-0 for the season, as the Red Sox beat up on the Kansas City Royals 11-8.You would think, by looking at his numbers, that Dice-K (8-0, 2.42 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 53 Ks) has been a different pitcher this year. His ERA is way down from last season, his ERA+ is way up for this season, and he seems to be keeping hitters off-balance more often.But look closer. Dice-K's maddening problem last year was his tendency to create trouble for himself by putting people on base via the walk. He walked 80 batters last season, good for sixth in the American League So has he learned to harness his arsenal?The answer is no.
