Enterprises are rapidly adopting virtualization technologies. However, the design elements that make virtualization attractive can introduce risks and increase exposure to threats. If virtualization is implemented without following best practices for security, the resultant security incidents increase costs and reduce business agility. As threats increase in number and complexity, security management costs also escalate, as more and more IT resources are spent fighting them.
