Virtualization Security FUD?
« on: July 21, 2010, 07:15:17 AM »
The main concern I have for anyone searching for practical information about securing their virtual infrastructure is the amount of FUD that is out there.  You only have to do a search on google and you know what I am talking about.  Sure the vendors themselves have very useful security hardening guides but they are vendor centric and often don't give you a sense of relevance to your organization or needs.  VMware's latest vSphere 4.0 Security hardening guide is somewhat better than its predecessor as  it does try to give the reader a level of relevance in terms of controls as they might pertain to specific environments. Eg. DMZ.

With this in mind I set out to write a short document that would hopefully impart to the reader practical advice on how to secure their virtual environment.  You can check out the document at the following link (A Practical Guide to Securing Your Virtual Environment), if you like it or even if you don't please let me know by leaving your comments...(spiv)
why wait for the weekend life is out there....
