#HOW CAN I GET VMWARE VSPHERE CLIENT 6.5 UPDATE#

Through a HUGE amount of hard work from VMware R&D we can now ship vSphere 6 Update 3 and vSphere 6.5 with a tool to disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 when YOU are ready! IвЂ™m happy to announce that we have met the TLS challenge head on.

The last thing we want to do is have a customer install a security patch and then everything they depend breaks by not being able to connect to vCenter! I suppose some might say вЂњthings are now secureвЂќ but thatвЂ™s not exactly a good way to run a business if nothing works! Where is vSphere today?

So, as you can see, it really is an exercise that requires a lot of thought and planning.

If we ship with TLS 1.0 and 1.1 disabled, are we going to cause a Denial of Service? If so, how do we help the customer back out?.

Has their code been updated to use TLS 1.2? Applications like Horizon View and other 3rd party/custom applications make secured connections to vCenter over TLS. How will this effect other code in the application.

Cryptography solutions such as OpenSSL will need to be updated.

These changes are non-trivial and require a lot of thought. For the second option, changes are necessary in the product. You can scan your environment to ensure that only compliant browsers are being used. There are implementation challenges with both of these options.

You could disable offering TLS 1.0 and/or TLS 1.1 by services such as vCenter.

You could update all your browsers so that they would always negotiate their connections to the higher standards.

Now, thereвЂ™s two ways to mitigate using TLS 1.0. Note:TLS 1.1 is still considered вЂњsafeвЂќ for PCI but many customers are already asking how they can go to 1.2 directly. YouвЂ™d want to disable the ability for any 1.0 connections to happen. If a service offered up TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 and you were running an older browser that didnвЂ™t support 1.1 or 1.2 then your connection would be over the weaker TLS 1.0. However, TLS 1.0 was discovered to have some known weaknesses. One of those threats came about when PCI 3.1 introduced a higher standard for strong cryptography using TLS (Transport Layer Security). ItвЂ™s constantly evolving to recognize new threats. ItвЂ™s a great standard set by a bunch of smart people in the Payment Card Industry. If youвЂ™re doing the minimum to вЂњcheck the boxвЂќ and get the auditor out of your sandbox and not constantly evolving your security practice and processes then sure, you may pass the audit but you may not be, in fact, secure. However, because human nature compels us to do the least amount possible to вЂњcheck the boxвЂќ and be done with things ASAP, its unfortunate that some see compliance as the end state. In some cases, compliance regulations can actually affect security negatively if itвЂ™s they donвЂ™t keep up with technology advances.

вЂќ Compliance can be a driver of security. вЂњOn this date at this time, we met all the requirements to say we are complaint with вЂњXвЂќ. ItвЂ™s part of the journey.Д¬ompliance on the other hand is a measurement. ItвЂ™s ok, thatвЂ™s just how things go and in many cases, compensating controls can minimize the risk.

And as we all know as new software is developed in some organizations, security may take a back seat to expediency in releasing the product until such time as you find yourself facing a mountain of vulnerabilities. As code is poked and prodded, bugs are found. As you add new technologies you add new threat vectors. Why? Because the threats are constantly evolving. YouвЂ™ll never reach a point where you can say вЂњWeвЂ™re secureвЂќ. But some might ask вЂњArenвЂ™t they the same thing?вЂќ My answer is unequivocally вЂњNoвЂќ but remember, this is my opinion and in the world of security, we are all entitled to our opinion, right? Security vs. I traditionally donвЂ™t write much about compliance.
