Nutanix Beam provides continuous cloud security and compliance for multi-cloud (which includes your on-premises Nutanix deployment) environments with configuration audits, compliance reporting, and remediation for vulnerabilities. Beam provides insights into security vulnerabilities in real time so that you can resolve potential threats before they turn into business challenges. With Beam you can audit and maintain security compliance for HIPAA, International Organization for Standardization (ISO), PCI-DSS, Center for Internet Security (CIS), NIST, and Service Organization Control (SOC-2), enforce custom policies and audits or leverage more than 250 built-in security checks based on industry best practices. Delivering Application-Centric Security with Micro-segmentation You may have heard that with the advent of cloud computing and the proliferation of mobile devices, the traditional network perimeter has all but disappeared. But that's not entirely correct. More accurately, the perimeter has just gotten a lot more complex and rather than a single perimeter around an entire datacenter, it now consists of hundreds or thousands of perimeters around individual applications and workloads. These "micro" perimeters are constantly moving — within and across the datacenter, and within and across clouds. Micro-segmentation (sometimes called east-west firewalling) cre- ates granular network policies between applications and services. Micro-segmentation is a key part of a modern defense-in-depth strategy against advanced datacenter threats, providing the next layer of defense beyond perimeter firewalls that traditionally protected north-south traffic between the "trusted" corporate network and the "untrusted" Internet.
