Virtual machines (VMs) must disable 3D features when not required.
For performance reasons, it is recommended that 3D acceleration be disabled on virtual machines that do not require 3D functionality (e.g., most server workloads or desktops not using 3D applicatio...Rule Low Severity -

Virtual machines (VMs) must enable encryption for Fault Tolerance.
Fault Tolerance log traffic can be encrypted. This could contain sensitive data from the protected machine's memory or CPU instructions. vSphere Fault Tolerance performs frequent checks between a ...Rule Medium Severity -

Virtual machines (VMs) must configure log size.
The ESXi hypervisor maintains logs for each individual VM by default. These logs contain information including but not limited to power events, system failure information, tools status and activity...Rule Medium Severity -

Virtual machines (VMs) must not use independent, nonpersistent disks.
The security issue with nonpersistent disk mode is that successful attackers, with a simple shutdown or reboot, might undo or remove any traces they were ever on the machine. To safeguard against t...Rule Medium Severity -

Virtual machines (VMs) must remove unneeded floppy devices.
Ensure no device is connected to a virtual machine if it is not required. For example, floppy, serial, and parallel ports are rarely used for virtual machines in a data center environment, and CD/D...Rule Medium Severity -
