Virtualization and Risk - Key Security Considerations for Your Enterprise Architecture

Overview As virtualization technology gains a stronger foothold in IT departments, many questions are being raised: "How will this technology affect existing security posture?"; "What new concerns need to be addressed to mitigate this risk?" and "What elements of risk does virtualization share with physical deployments? This white paper takes a pragmatic view of the different components of virtualization technologies and provides a perspective on how enterprises that are looking to deploy such technologies should think about their threat profile. It describes the people, process, and technology concerns that should be addressed before a full-scale deployment is undertaken. And finally, it provides some food for thought about the road ahead as this technology becomes more widespread.
