GlassHouse Technologies and Splunk Outline Steps to Secure Virtual Environments
GLAS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- GlassHouse
Technologies, the leading independent IT infrastructure consulting
and services firm, today announced the availability of a whitepaper that
provides insight on securing virtual environments. Co-authored by
Splunk, the foremost IT Search company, the paper entitled "Does
Virtualization Change Your Approach to Enterprise Security?" focuses
on how enterprises can mitigate security risks in their virtual settings
in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Consultants from GlassHouse
Technologies and representatives from Splunk will also be available to
discuss these findings and other emerging virtualization trends at the
VMworld conference on August 31 - September 3.
While organizations have rushed to implement virtualization and achieve
the promised benefits, many have overlooked the proper strategy
necessary to secure this environment. To help enterprises combat the
growing concerns over virtual security, this research focuses on best
practices that should be implemented to ensure virtual components are
meeting all organization security protocols without hindering the
performance of the infrastructure.
Specifically, the whitepaper explores the following components:
--
Aligning security strategy with business risk tolerance
--
Securing virtual machines, including like physical machines
--
Security monitoring of virtual environments including administrative
virtualization management interface, and access to the virtual machine
files
These specific strategies will be discussed in greater detail by Splunk
and GlassHouse consultants at VMworld. This year's conference will bring
together attendees from across the globe to discuss trends and
challenges in the virtualization space. Make sure to look for the
GlassHouse "Conversation Cloud" at the show to hear more about virtual
security as well the consultants views on emerging cloud trends in
storage, security and data center management. GlassHouse
will also host an event at the show bringing together customers,
partners and industry experts to continue VMworld discussions.
