Dumb question of the day:<br />
<br />
Is there any way to protect/scan the ESXi Host using any EndPoint Protection software like McAfee, Symantec instead of protecting all the VMs individually?<br />
If above not possible; what is the easiest &amp;&nbsp;effective way to protect the VMs from Malware, AV etc. <br />
<br />
Thanks.

Endpoint Protection for ESXi Host

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
