That's an interesting development. Since the ransomware outbreak earlier this year, there has been an increase in security concerns about VMware. I've heard more complaints about the lateness of security patches and the difficulties people have had installing them, etc. I'm curious if this has anything to do with that.
- brohoolio 3y agovCenter is a huge target. VMware docs differ from the the Crowdstrike recommendations, with security vendors saying basically to lock it down to the 9th degree or suffer the consequences.

- merlyn 3y agoI haven't had any trouble installing VMware security patches (I've done plenty). As to why there seems to be such an increase in security patches, its like the quote from Willie Sutton. That's where the money is.. The largest target gets the most attention. Everybody has bugs. While you may hide under the radar with using some lesser known things, don't fool yourself thinking that there aren't holes the hackers can weave their way through.
- thaanpaa 3y agoI don't remember exactly, but there were some issues where a security update would remove support for certain common (HP?) RAID controllers or something to that effect. So, if you're not careful, a security patch could potentially brick a server.
