Vali Cyber ZeroLock 5 brings MFA to the hypervisor command line

Vali Cyber released ZeroLock 5, a security tool designed to protect ESX and Linux hypervisors against insider threats and credential compromise attacks. The product adds multifactor authentication (MFA) to hypervisor command-line access, addressing a security gap as ransomware operators and nation-state actors increasingly target virtualization infrastructure rather than individual endpoints.

Why it matters: Infrastructure teams managing hypervisors need to evaluate whether MFA at the hypervisor command line reduces their exposure to lateral movement and privilege escalation attacks that could lead to widespread virtual machine compromise across the data center.
