VMware's CEO has a vision that should terrify the security industry: 'Start getting rid of products' (VMW)

In an interview on Monday at the Best of Breed conference, VMWare CEO Pat Gelsinger talked about how reducing the number of security products a company uses can actually make you more secure.

  • In an interview on Monday at the Best of Breed conference, VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger said that right now, companies are using too many security products — grim tidings for anybody trying to sell security products to those companies.
  • By using multiple products, they're creating more cracks in their security infrastructure, where attackers could hypothetically get in.
  • Gelsinger says the goal is to reduce the number of security products used to help protect VMware itself down to 15.
  • To do this, VMWare will build more security features directly into its own products.
