Episode 25 – The Security Implications of Virtualization
Amrit Williams, CTO of BigFix, Inc. and Aaron Bawcom, VP of Engineering of Reflex Systems discuss Bawcom’s new book “Virtualization for Security.” Bawcom believes that virtualization represents the most profound technology shift since the introduction of the IP protocol and will have a double impact on enterprise information security. First, vitualized systems simplify security by reducing the number of physical assets and inherently automating many security policy and configuration processes. Second, as they do this virtualized systems are different enough from conventional environments to require distinctly different processes and disciplines to assure their security.
