Nemertes’ Issue Paper is a research deliverable that examines a specific technical or business problem that we have identified through our primary research.
Server Virtualization is a technology that creates an abstraction layer between a physical resource and several logical instances of that resource.
Essentially, it is a technology that allows multiple operating system images to run on a single server.
Are you saying the hypervisor security threats are irrelevant?
No, we are saying that the risk related to hypervisor compromise is relatively lesser than the risks inherent in the organizational and architectural changes that occur in larger deployments of virtualization.

We relied on a handful of key sources for our data including research benchmark studies on Data Centers, Security and Information Protection.
