Virtualization Security

Security Challenges to Consider While virtualization can bring a lot of benefits to users, there are a number of security issues which should be consider. One of the most prominent of these is called "break out" attacks, a situation in which criminals will escape from a virtual machine designed for guests in order to launch attacks against the hypervisor, allowing them to gain control over the host. This is a looming threat, and a viable attack could occur at any time. When it comes to virtualization implementation, there is a… Read More

Virtualization Overview

How Virtualization Works Virtualization is a type of process in which numerous virtual operating systems are handled at the same time on one computer. It is a technique of increasing and sharing the physical resources so that a piece of hardware can be pushed to its maximum limit. To understand the power of virtualization, it is first necessary to become familiar with Moore’s Law. This law has predicted that computer processing power would double every 18 months or so. The law also stated that the geometric growth in computer power and… Read More
