Threat Hunting and Cross-Component Forensics With VCF Audit Trail
Broadcom, Tuesday, October 13th, 2026
VCF 9.1 standardizes audit records and adds an Audit Trail framework for unified logging and cross-component forensics.
VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 overhauls audit logging with standardized Audit Records and the Audit Trail framework.
Previously, investigating incidents across a multi-component stack meant piecing together logs with varied timestamp formats, inconsistent severity tags and missing component identifiers.
The new capabilities bring unified logging standards, centralized analysis and cross-component traceability to help detect unauthorized changes, lateral movement and insider threats.
