Many organizations are already realizing the cost savings from implementing virtualized servers, and systems administrators love the ease of deployment and management for virtualized systems. There are even security benefits to virtualization - easier business continuity and disaster recovery, single points of control over multiple systems, role-based access, and additional auditing and logging capabilities for large infrastructures. Virtualization technology is the focus of many new potential threats and exploits, and presents new vulnerabilities that must be managed. In addition, there are a vast number of configuration options that security and systems administrators need to understand, with an added layer of complexity that has to be managed by operations teams. Virtualization technologies also connect to network infrastructure and storage networks, and require careful planning with regard to access controls, user permissions, and traditional security controls. Attendees will learn about virtualization security fundamentals, with an in-depth treatment of today's most pressing virtualization security concerns: known attacks and threats, theoretical attack methods, and numerous real-world examples. Then we'll turn our attention to today's most popular enterprise server virtualization product, VMware Infrastructure.
