Now you'll be on the NSX Security desktop. At this point you can begin the walkthrough steps listed in the next section.

In the lab, to simulate an enterprise environment, the following VMs have been deployed: a VDI Desktop , Application server and a production data base server.  These three VMs are connected to NSX overlay segments.

A supplementary VM has been deployed to play the role of an attacker, an external resource from where the attacks are initiated. This VM is attached to a VLAN type port group to a virtual distributed switch. Agent operating system (OS) type and roles are as follows:

The goal of the NSX Security stack is to provide visibility and enforcement across the attack chain for any workload form factor across multiple clouds. The distributed Firewall in essence is a L2 to L7 Firewall that is transparently applied to the network interface of a workload, VMs of course, but also containers and physical bare metal servers. This enables customers to implement any level of segmentation without needing to make network changes, For example isolate production from development workloads, or micro-segment a multi-tier application. NSX Advanced Threat Prevention consists of IDS/IPS, Malware Prevention, Network Traffic Analysis and Network Detection and Response. NSX Intelligence provides complete East-West flow visibility and automated Firewall rule recommendations. For North-South protection, NSX Gateway Firewall is a software-only, layer 2-7 Firewall that enables you to achieve consistent network security coverage and unified management for all of your workloads, regardless of whether they’re running on physical servers, in a private or public cloud environment or in containers.
