If it ain't broke, make it less accessible
Much to the chagrin of security pros, VMware security advisories are now only viewable if users sign up for a Broadcom Support account first.
URLs for older VMware security advisories will still work, so there's no need to change any browser bookmarks, they'll just instead redirect to the Broadcom Support Portal. "Based on customer entitlements and customer settings, the Support Portal will send out notifications to customers that have signed up to receive notifications for new or modified security advisories,""However, at this time, Support Portal is not yet prepared to send out these notifications when a VMware Security Advisory is published or modified."
"Also worth asking is how mechanisms such as RSS feeds would work, or if at all. Many teams will rely on such mechanisms to have some form of automation for new advisories. Ultimately for some, this may turn out to be yet another reason to look to other alternative products."VMware's end-user compute community told to brace for 'Omnissa' shift
