VMWorld & Virtualization Security

It's been just over three years since VMWare's highly anticipated IPO put the high-tech industry on the edge of our seats. Now virtualization is a staple of IT, VMWorld is full despite dwindling travel budgets and the ecosystem supporting VMWare's technology is bustling.

But virtualization is far from the end of it's growth cycle. A recent survey showed that while 90% of IT environments have incorporated virtualization, security concerns have about 40% of respondents holding back. Over time virtualization has crept up from being an experiment to finding itself running on increasingly sensitive servers

That's why security is the linchpin to the further penetration of virtualization into sensitive servers and to reducing the business risk with the most valuable data in our treasury.

So under that context we'd like to give you a glimpse of what we're demonstrating at VMWorld with technical tutorials that show some key vulnerabilities in virtualized environments and how to address them.
