MITRE ATT&CK v17 introduces a dedicated ESXi platform, marking a major shift in cybersecurity priorities. The new ESXi matrix spans 12 attack stages — adapting 34 Linux TTPs, carrying over 30 more, and introducing 4 ESXi-specific techniques — officially validating what security teams have long known: hypervisors are under direct attack, and traditional defenses are falling short. With this expanded framework, organizations can now build stronger detections, align controls to compliance expectations, and prioritize hypervisor security at the executive level.
ZeroLock® mitigates 100% of ESXi TTPs when properly configured and fully deployed through a multilayered approach featuring:
- SSH MFA
- Application Filtering
- Lockdown Rules
- Virtual Patching
- AI-Behavioral Detection
- Automated Remediation
