Overview:
Virtualization of the data center and departmental servers is dramatically changing the IT landscape, introducing new benefits as well as new risks and opportunities. According to Gartner, 60% of virtual machines are less secure than their physical counterparts. How can this be? Virtualization disrupts the security mindset.

Virtualization introduces an array of new security risk challenges including compliance, separation, data leakage, forensics, and much more. If your organization has already deployed a virtualized environment, read this paper for advice on how to review your infrastructure and establish best practices going forward.
