NSX-T Endpoint Protection provides agentless antivirus protection for virtual machines running on VMware ESXi hosts. It uses the VMware vShield Endpoint API to scan the virtual machines without requiring the installation of antivirus agents. The service is integrated with third-party antivirus solutions, such as McAfee and Symantec, to provide real-time protection against malware and other threats.

For more information on NSX-T Endpoint Protection, please refer to the NSX-T Data Center documentation: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.0/nsx-t-3.0-endpoint-protection/GUID-25C22F02-4B30-47D4-8F0C-3BC9F9C3AFD3.html

NSX provides a feature called Guest Introspection that allows administrators to provide security services to virtual machines, including antivirus protection. One of the components of Guest Introspection is the Guest Introspection Thin Agent, which must be deployed to provide Linux-based VMs with antivirus protection. The Thin Agent is a lightweight agent that runs inside the guest operating system of virtual machines and communicates with the NSX Manager to provide security services.

Once the Guest Introspection Thin Agent is deployed, the administrator can configure the antivirus service to scan virtual machines for malware and take action on any threats that are detected.
