VMware Aria

-

 



Today, more and more of our customers are delivering applications across public clouds and at the edge, and they’re increasingly using Kubernetes to manage and scale their modernized and cloud-native apps. To be the preferred multi-cloud management partner for our customers, we need to solve the challenges they face managing overall cloud spend, resource utilization, and application performance, security, and compliance across any cloud. VMware Aria enables us to do just that.   

Powering VMware Aria is VMware Aria Graph, an exciting new cloud-scale data store technology that captures and maps the complexity of our customers’ multi-cloud environments – applications, users, configurations, and associated dependencies – in a single view. The innovative Aria Graph technology anchors all our core management solutions, namely, Aria Cost, Aria Operations, and Aria Automation. In addition, it powers a set of end-to-end multi-cloud management solutions for cloud governance (Aria Guardrails), cloud migration (Aria Migration), and business insights (Aria Business Insights) at scale. VMware Aria Graph will be made available to customers as a capability within VMware Aria Hub. First introduced at VMworld 2021 as Project Ensemble, VMware Aria Hub provides centralized views and controls to manage the entire multi-cloud environment. 

Scale and extensibility are core tenets of the VMware Aria solution. With the ability to scale reliably to hundreds of millions of objects and ingest billions of data points the moment they occur, VMware Aria meets the multi-cloud management requirements of the largest and most demanding enterprises. VMware Aria’s graph data store and API services enable it to seamlessly integrate with third-party solutions such as observability and application performance management tools. Data collected and normalized from native public clouds, on-prem clouds, VMware tools and third-party tools within Aria Graph enriches operations, automation, and cost metrics in customers’ existing VMware vRealize, CloudHealth by VMware and VMware Tanzu Observability products. 

VMware Aria has been designed to address the emerging cross-cloud and cross-discipline management challenges customers are increasingly encountering as they continue to adopt native public clouds and cloud native applications. A good example is cloud migration. For those customers with multiple cloud environments seeking to modernize or rationalize their existing portfolios, they now have various target clouds options to choose from when migrating an application or workload. Understanding the characteristics of the target cloud from a cost, performance, and security perspective and comparing it with other cloud options is dependent on having a map of the relationships of all the objects and workloads across those cloud environments. This is precisely what VMware Aria’s new datastore – VMware Graph – is designed to do. VMware Aria is less about managing the challenges of the past but about the managing the ever-growing complexity of the multi-cloud and cloud native application world. 

With the VMware Aria launch, we are unifying VMware Cloud Management in four key respects: 

  • Offering:  VMware Aria –A multi-cloud management portfolio for managing the cost, performance, configuration, and delivery of infrastructure and cloud native applications across any cloud 
  • Platform: VMware Aria Hub powered by VMware Aria Graph – Centralized views and controls powered by a graph-based data store that captures the resources and relationships of a multi-cloud environment  
  • Solutions:  New End-to-End Services – Three new end-to-end solutions cutting across management disciplines to deliver cloud governance, cloud migration and business insights   
  • Portfolio:  VMware Aria – Single family name to unify the VMware portfolio: vRealize, CloudHealth by VMware Suite, and Tanzu Observability

  The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has signed a Working Arrangement with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the US, in the areas of capacity-building, best practices exchange and boosting situational awareness. Geopolitics have shaped the cyber threat landscape, bringing like-minded partners closer together in the wake of common cyber challenges and advances in digital technologies. Today at the EU-US Cyber Dialogue, ENISA and CISA announced the signing of their Working Arrangement as an important milestone in the overall cooperation between the United States and the European Union in the field of cybersecurity, also following the Joint Statement of European Commissioner Thierry Breton and U.S. Secretary for Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas of January 2023. ENISA’s International Strategy directs the Agency to be selective in engaging with international partners and to limit its overall approach in international cooperation to those...

In January 2024, cybersecurity faced a remarkable surge in threats, with a focus on exploiting vulnerabilities in technologies from leading vendors. This spike in cyber attacks highlighted the urgent necessity for robust security posture and swift responses to mitigate these vulnerabilities.  Below is an in-depth analysis of the most critical vulnerabilities targeted during January. CVE-2023-46805 and CVE-2024-21887:   CISA Warns Against Ivanti Zero-Day Vulnerabilities On January 19, 2024, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an alert regarding two critical zero-day vulnerabilities discovered in Ivanti products:  CVE-2023-46805 and  CVE-2024-21887.  Assigned CVSS scores of 8.2 (High) and 9.1 (Critical), these vulnerabilities underscore a significant risk to cybersecurity, marked by their capability for arbitrary command execution. This prompted an emergency directive for immediate mitigation within federal agencies, highlighting the...

SmartScreen Vulnerability: CVE-2024-21412 Facts and Fixes

-
Image
On Feb. 13, 2024, Microsoft issued a  patch  for CVE-2024-21412, a  Microsoft Defender SmartScreen  vulnerability revolving around internet shortcuts. Previously, we discovered that an advanced persistent threat (APT) group we track under the name Water Hydra has been exploiting CVE-2024-21412 in a sophisticated campaign targeting financial market traders, allowing the group to bypass Microsoft Defender SmartScreen and infect its victims with the DarkMe remote access trojan (RAT). Threat actors are constantly finding new ways of identifying and exploiting gaps to bypass security measures. We found that the bypass of CVE-2023-36025 (a previously patched SmartScreen vulnerability) led to the discovery and exploitation of CVE-2024-21412. This highlights how threat actors can circumvent patches by identifying new vectors of attack around a patched software component. It is important that organizations are able to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, especiall...
