I'll update this post soon with the link to the recording of the webinar when it is available. Thankfully for them, the ability to include their virtual apps in their overall security strategy is just a quick download away.įor those of you who weren't able to attend, I've embedded the slides from today's webinar below. Many of the attendees on the call today remarked that they were unaware of the potential compliance issues brought on by virtual apps we sense this may be the case with many organizations out there. To bring this subject to light even further, today eEye co-hosted a webinar with the ThinApp team at VMware - "Close Your Virtual App Security Gap" - which dug into the importance of including virtualized applications as part of your overall security strategy. Today, Retina is the industry's only security solution that is able to detect the presence of virtual apps - regardless of whether they are running or not - and their potential vulnerabilities. Up until our most recent release of Retina, this was the case. Many would assume that typical vulnerability assessments would identify virtual apps and their possible security risks (it's important to point out that application virtualization technology does not alter the apps in any way, it simply delivers them in a virtual setting - so, if there are flaws in the apps, the flaws get delivered as well). But what about application virtualization security? Providing trace logs can be helpful but most often does not provide enough information for timely resolution. Time and resources are optimized when an issue can be reproduced in-house, and VMware Support and ThinApp engineers prioritize these issues. Why? The technology allows IT teams easily streamline application mobility and eliminate application conflicts on the desktop, which at the end of the day, means reduced IT and support costs. The most effective method for VMware to troubleshoot a ThinApp issue is to reproduce it. Also, watch instructional videos made by John at apps, and specifically those deployed by market leading VMware's ThinApp technology, are becoming increasingly popular in the financial services and healthcare-related fields, as well as with government agencies. Can I virtualize only Microsoft applications when using Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)?Ĭheck out hundreds more useful Q&As like this in John Savill's FAQ for Windows. Are there any limitations to the types of applications I can virtualize with VMware ThinApp? The Benefits of Application Virtualization.All user settings are stored in a local sandbox that stores small amounts of customizations but is typically less than 5MB. 50MB instead of 500MB for something like Microsoft Office). The executable created by the ThinApp sequencing environment contains all the virtualized layer information required to launch the application, and the ThinApp sandbox environment as well.Ĭitrix and Microsoft use a cache for their application virtualization solutions, but VMware streams the registry and file system and caches everything in memory.
