“Securing the Virtual Environment: How to Defend the Enterprise Against Attack.”

This presentation offers a broad look across virtualization used in various industries as well as a narrow view of vulnerabilities in virtual environments. Examines the difference in a virtual model versus traditional computing models and the appropriate technology and procedures to defend it from attack:

  1. Dissects and exposes attacks targeted at the virtual environment and the steps necessary for defense;
  2. Covers information security in virtual environments: building a virtual attack lab, finding leaks, getting a side-channel, denying or compromising services, abusing the hypervisor, forcing an interception, and spreading infestations;
  3. The state of security and compliance in the cloud.
