A brief discussion about understanding vDefend Security Services Platform

CuriousTechie: Hello IT Guy! I have been hearing about a new product in VMware’s portfolio called SSP – Security Services Platform. Can you help me understand what is this product?

ITGuy: Sure! Have you worked with NAPP ( NSX Application Platform) ? And how was your experience working with NAPP?

CuriousTechie: Yes! I have deployed and used NAPP after having a conversation with you here. To be honest, it was fun but little tough to deploy. It required some Kubernetes knowledge and had a lot of dependencies. Also an air gap deployment was very challenging.

ITGuy: SSP is the successor of NAPP but its exponentially easy to deploy without any major dependency. vDefend Security Services Platform represents a next-generation solution for visualizing and managing vDefend Security within VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). It is designed to deliver a high-performance, scalable platform that efficiently operates various vDefend security services.
