An Empirical Study Into the Security Exposure to Hosts of Hostile Virtualized Environments

Tags:
security management

Overview As virtual machines become increasingly commonplace as a method of separating hostile or hazardous code from commodity systems, the potential security exposure from implementation flaws has increased dramatically. This paper investigates the state of popular virtual machine implementations for x86 systems, employing a combination of source code auditing and blackbox random testing to assess the security exposure to the hosts of hostile virtualized environments.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
