Corelight Open NDR Achieves VMware Ready for Telco Cloud Infrastructure Certification

Accelerate Your Hybrid Cloud Security with Corelight Open NDR, now in the VMware Marketplace

Corelight’s Open NDR platform has achieved VMware Ready for Telco Cloud Infrastructure (TCI) certification and is now active in the VMware Marketplace. Developed to expedite the process of integrating new certified virtual network functions (VNFs) and containerized network functions (CNFs) to Communications Service Providers (CSP) and large enterprise networks, the VMware Ready for Telco Cloud Program supports cloud native functions and multi-cloud automation and orchestration to accelerate modernization efforts.

The certification identifies VNFs proven to interoperate with the VMware Telco Cloud Infrastructure layers described in the ETSI-compliant VMware TCI reference architecture. Compatibility with the virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM) and other key components of the reference architecture ensure that certified solutions integrate effectively within the VMware Telco Cloud environment. Corelight’s virtual sensor integrates seamlessly with VMware's telco cloud environment and benefits anyone operating on-premise and hybrid networks.

Corelight is certified with the following components from VMware Telco Cloud Infrastructure – 2.5 for VNF certified solution
	VMware ESXi 7.0 U3g
	VMware vCenter Server Appliance 7.0 U3h
	VMware NSX 3.2.2

Accelerating Cybersecurity Resilience

The Corelight Open NDR Platform now available in the VMware marketplace provides comprehensive visibility and advanced threat detection across the network. By integrating Open NDR with VMware's telco cloud ecosystem, Corelight helps operators accelerate their cyber deployment. The Corelight Open NDR stack combines dynamic network detections, AI, onboard intrusion detection (IDS), network security monitoring (NSM), and packet capture (PCAP) in a single security tool. Born from the open-source ecosystem and refined through years of real-world use and AI innovation, the platform is continuously improved by an active global defense community. Detection capabilities include signature, behavior analytics, and machine-learning help operators stay agile and adaptive against attacks in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. All of these capabilities can be managed across the full-scope of the VMware environment through Corelight Fleet Manager.

Our seamless integration with VMware TCI empowers enterprise customers with the tools necessary to secure their networks against sophisticated cyber threats. Corelight's Virtual Sensor for VMware is a pivotal component of this integration. Our virtual sensors transform network traffic into high-fidelity data for incident response, intrusion detection, and more. The virtual sensor parses dozens of network protocols and generates rich, actionable evidence and detection within virtualized environments in customer data centers, hybrid networks, and CSPs.
