Securing Virtualized Infrastructures: From Static Security to Virtual Shields

This white paper explains why static security devices undermine the flexibility advantages gained through server virtualization and discusses three new models for securing virtual infrastructures:

• Security code within the hypervisor
• A virtual security appliance running inside the virtual machine
• Security as a plug-in to the hypervisor
