VMware vSphere Security: 10 Critical Checks Every Enterprise Should Run

Most cloud security tools ignore your VMware estate entirely. Yet suspended VMs write unencrypted memory to disk, stale snapshots expose old credentials, and EOL ESXi hosts carry unpatched CVEs — all invisible to cloud-only monitoring.

Continuous Compliance vs Point-in-Time Audits: Why Your Quarterly Review Is Too Late

The average cloud misconfiguration goes undetected for 77 days. Annual or quarterly audits give attackers a wide window.
