Broadcom has unveiled a series of new features for VMware vDefend and Avi Load Balancer, aimed at expanding private cloud security capabilities and optimizing infrastructure costs.
The updates include a new threat protection framework, on-premises malware preventions, support for air-gapped environments, and application programming interface (API) protection.
Umesh Mahajan, vice president and general manager of Broadcom’s application networking and security division, said the new features come in direct response to rising AI-related threats.
“As AI-fueled cyber attacks and vulnerability exploits redefine the threat landscape, a fragmented security approach is no longer an option,” he commented.
