Virtualization Security Architecture and Integration |
|
Virtual technologies continue to proliferate with virtual machines momentarily leading the current evolution. The virtual reality is that virtual systems have been around for over 30 years. The most recent iterations have been virtual networks, machines, applications, storage, hardware, and desktops. Virtualized solutions are fantastic resources if employed and deployed with the correct assumptions and effectively. The greatest REAL challenge is to truly understand how the virtual solution operates as planned by the vendor and in practice. Another primary challenge is to correctly document the implementation. By design the system is virtual - not visible - therefore you must have an accurate understanding of what has been logically configured. It is also very important to have the appropriate policies, standards and procedures in place prior to embarking on virtual grounds or your IT environment can get out of control very quickly. The primary business objective of Sph3r3's virtualization solution is to help your organization architect the implemention properly and appropriately select and document the logical sytem and applied security controls.  | Download Sph3r3's Free Virtual Security Presentation Virtualized computing environments are here to stay and will eventually propel most organizations to a fully outsourced data center model. In transitioning to this environment many architectural, integration and suffiency items need to be addressed. Formidably, are you prepared for the supporting logical architecture documentation required to manage and maintain a virtual environment? Are you prepared for the literal freedom and independence that every administrator can architect in the virtualized space? |
The presentation discusses the following topics: - Have there been vulnerabilities?
- Transitioning to a virtual world
- Virtual compliance with directory services
- Surviving a virtual disaster
- Managing virtually everything
- Securing and integrating what is virtually touchless
