Checking VMware Virtual Infrastructure for Security Standards

    vGate Compliance Checker is a free Security Code development tool that allows you to verify that virtual infrastructures comply with industry standards and international best practices.

    The result of the application is a report (which can be downloaded in HTML format) containing information on the compliance of the server being checked (several servers) with industry standards and international best practices.
