Microsoft has changed their intentions for the March 2020 Active Directory LDAP updates. Here's how it affects your vSphere infrastructure: bit.ly/2uoPITn
Here’s an update from Microsoft on the LDAPS issue. portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en… TL;DR It’s been put off until H2 calendar year 2020. The vSphere blog entry will be updated soon. blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/202…

Myself and @plankers are hosting a vSphere Security tweet chat tomorrow, Oct 22nd 10-11amPDT in honor of national cybersecurity month. Join us!
Issues of encryption can morph to “compliance” vs “Security”. e.g. “Is your data encrypted? Yes [  ]  No [  ]” Nobody asked “How” and “against what threat vectors”.

Encryption (Enc) tidbit of the day. Was asked about database encryption vs vSphere encryption. VM Enc protects against theft of the VM &/or the disk. vSAN Enc protects against theft of disks. Database Enc protects against SQL attacks. Different threats & attack vectors.

If SGX and the next level of VM security is on your radar you should go to this session at VMworld!
Probably one of the coolest VM security sessions at VMworld is “SGX Secure Enclaves:The Future of Application Security in the Cloud” It will give you a good idea of where things are heading & what we are investigating. Check it out if you’re at VMworld! my.vmworld.com/widget/vmware…

In vSphere 6.7U3 only members of the Administrators group can change VC plugin settings. This is a (good) change from previous versions. If developing your own plugin you can still add custom RBAC roles. This change is for those plugins that don’t have separate RBAC controls.
Is vSphere Compliance your thing? Check out this blog on our new Compliance Kit for NIST 800-53! blogs.vmware.com/cloud-found…
