Practical Steps to Mitigate Virtualization Security risks

Tripwire

The prospect of increased agility and the increasing cost and complexity of IT has contributed to the rapid adoption of virtualization technologies. Virtualization makes it possible to build and deploy IT releases and changes into production faster and more economically than ever. Some virtualization experts claim that virtualized environments are fundamentally no less secure than physical environments. However, others claim that virtualization can enable better security. Who is correct? Both claims can be correct, but only under certain conditions. Every day, information security practitioners live with the reality that they are a single change away from a security breach that could result in front page news, brand damage, or regulatory fines. These issues are clearly not confined to security, but impact business at the highest level. Consequently, security practitioners strive to implement IT controls to mitigate issues such as the risk of fraud, loss of confidential customer information, disruption of critical business services and data integrity, and inaccurate financial reporting.
