With vSphere 6.7, VM Encryption is further enhanced, is more operationally easy to manage, and simplifies workflows. This is designed to protect data at rest and in motion, via a right-click, while also increasing the security posture of encrypting the vm and giving users a greater degree of control to protect against unauthorized data access vSphere 6.7 also improves protection for data in motion by enabling Encrypted vMotion across various vCenter server instances as well as versions This makes it easy to securely conduct data center migrations or to move data across a hybrid cloud environment-that is, between on-premises and pub d-or across geographically distributed data centers NOTE: Cross-v Center Encrypted vMotion is supported only for VMs that are not encrypted. vSphere 6.7 introduces support for the entire range of Microsoft virtualization-based security technologies introduced in Windows 10 and windows Server 2016. This is a result of close collaboration between Vmware and microsoft to ensure that window VMs on v Sphere systems support in-guest security features while continuing to b performant and secure on the v Sphere platform Sphere 6.7 delivers comprehensive built-in security and is the heart of a secure Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC).

This is designed to protect data at rest and in motion, via a right-click, while also increasing the security posture of encrypting the VM and giving users a greater degree of control to protect against unauthorized data access. vSphere 6.7 also improves protection for data in motion by enabling Encrypted vMotion across various vCenter Server instances as well as versions. This makes it easy to securely conduct data center migrations or to move data across a hybrid cloud environment—that is, between on-premises and public cloud—or across geographically distributed data centers.
