Prevent cyber attacks and data loss by applying a “zero trust” philosophy. The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud provides native platform hardening, security auditing and reporting, and protection from network threats.

With Nutanix, security begins with a robust software foundation built for hybrid cloud architectures. Nutanix starts with AOS as a hardened software platform for HCI and then builds on that foundation with features and functions to  increase security posture and aid our customers with not just the prevention and detection of security threats but also helps to prevent data loss and ensure continuous business operations.
