Stream Security Expands Beyond Cloud-Native: Full Hybrid Cloud Visibility with VMware, NSX, and On-Prem Network Support

The cloud security industry has a blind spot , and it's hiding in plain sight. Most cloud detection and response solutions were built for one world: public cloud. AWS, Azure, GCP. Clean APIs, structured logs, well-documented services. But that's not the world many enterprises actually live in. The reality? Your attack surface doesn't stop at your cloud boundary. Workloads run on VMware. Traffic routes through on-prem to cloud, And adversaries know that the seams between environments are where detection falls apart. Today, we're closing that gap. Stream Security now delivers full attack path analysis and runtime threat detection across hybrid cloud environments, starting with VMware (including NSX), on-premises routers, and network infrastructure.
