Security and Virtualization
2008-09-12 02:00:00 As part of my various duties here at RSA, I get the privilege of speaking with customers on a regular basis about how they can implement an Information Risk Management strategy. One of the most frequently asked questions that follow this discussion is: “how does this process change when I start to virtualize my environment?” So in this guest blog post, I thought I’d answer this question and talk a little about RSA’s collaboration with VMware for securing their virtual infrastructure solutions. Before we get to security implications, we should start with a basic discussion of what virtualization does to the overall information infrastructure...
Virtualization – Helpful in Industrial Automation?

Government Computer Rentals Focus Shifts to Consolidation, Virtualization
2008-06-02 18:16:00 The hardware and software priorities of federal, state, provincial and municipal agencies - traditional users of leased and rented computer equipment - is shifting as the priority of these agencies' computing needs shift. The pattern of government computer rentals increasingly reflect an ongoing shift to local-area network consolidation and the 'virtualization' of employees desktops in an effort to reduce IT costs overall.Whereas, managers once procured long-term equipment rentals or leases to supply bulky desktops replete with extra space for file storage and each equipped with its own licenced software, increasingly government procurers are seeking cost reductions through linking 'virtual desktops' to leased or rented servers that are partitioned so that they can run multiple operating systems and applications for a fleet of 'virtual' desktops.Charles Christopherson Jr,. chief financial officer and CIO for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, describes in the 03/31/08 issue...

I contributed a blog on this in January for our Virtualization Strategy Day and a second blog about the announcements we had made at the Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) in Las Vegas in late April. While there are many facets to the Optimized Desktop, the framework is based on technologies that enable decoupling the traditional desktop stack of hardware, operating system, applications, data, settings and user prof...
Security Risks of Virtualization
2008-05-21 05:51:00 One fact strikes me pretty often: Companies have the problem that they have legacy software running on legacy operating systems (e.g. NT4) running on legacy hardware. This is a severe problem as you all know. Now, these companies look into virtualization so solve this problem. From all the three "legacy" up there, only the hardware problem can be addressed by the use of virtualization ? definitely not the OS and the application piece (obvious). Now, there are still a lot of people thinking that if they embed the legacy machine in a state-of-the-art virtual environment that the machine itself might be more secure. This can be true ? if you do not connect it to the network. Otherwise, the OS and the application are as vulnerable as before. This is all clear and in the meantime known to a lot of people. Virtualization gives us a lot. I think, it is a great technology to address quite some challenges (especially the challenge of having servers that are mainly "idlein" in the computer r...

KVM-funder takes a swing at desktop virtualization

It's looking for Solid ICE to go up against the desktop virtulization wares from VMware, Citrix, Microsoft and a host of start-ups. Those of you in the open source kingdom will know Qumranet best as the corporate sponsor of KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), which had made its way into major Linux operating systems as the default server virtualization package.
