Best to just stick to the things the VMware configuration guide suggests. VMware is getting lots of attention, I'd be surprised if there're any low-hanging fruits to pick, security-wise. If you're touching low-level configuration details of an embedded system there's always the danger of shooting yourself in the foot.
