Abstract
A next generation antivirus (NGAV) security solution in a virtualized computing environment includes a security sensor at a virtual machine that runs on a host and a security engine remote from the host. The integrity of the NGAV security solution is increased, by providing a verification as to whether a verdict issued by the security engine has been successfully enforced by the security sensor to prevent execution of malicious code at the virtual machine.
