Nemertes Market Analysis: Virtualization Security
As organizations deploy virtualization the security arms-race is moving from the physical world to the virtual world. Unfortunately, most enterprises are securing their virtualized systems just as they do their physical servers and desktops. This is a reasonable first step, especially if they rely heavily on host-based measures. However, to exploit virtualization to its fullest - enabling IT agility - enterprise security teams will have to embrace security tools that can fully cope with servers or desktops that talk to each other in a virtual network, and that may move from place to place, or appear or disappear in an instant.
