What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Broadcom introduced VMware HyperArmor, a new software solution designed to protect the VMware ESX hypervisor component of VMware Cloud Foundation. The solution addresses cyber threats by providing host-layer virtual patching to shield ESX against malicious actions. HyperArmor supports VMware ESX 8.x and later releases and does not require host reboots or software upgrades to mitigate vulnerabilities.

The solution targets the growing threat surface in infrastructure stacks, specifically addressing unpatched vulnerabilities and stolen root credentials. By offering virtual patching that avoids host reboots, it provides security teams with reduced risk windows and greater operational flexibility. This expands Broadcom's security offerings within the VMware product stack.
