Dec 2, 2019
On the 27th episode of the
show, I’m joined by Stijn Vanveerdeghem, Senior Technical
Product Manager at VMware.
Distributed IPS/IDS (Intrusion
Prevention and Detection System) on NSX-T was one of the biggest
announcements at VMworld 2019 Europe. Stijn is the Technical
Product Manager behind this feature and he took the time to explain
us what VMware is bringing to the security market and what are the
distinctive benefits that customers can gain from using this
feature.
You can reach out to Stijn via
LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stijnvanv/).
Virtual Stack is available on
all major apps: Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher
and more.
Hope you enjoy the show. As
usual, feel free to share your feedback via Twitter (@emregirici),
LinkedIn or virtualstack.tech.
