The Myths and Realities of Virtualization Security: An Interview with Allwyn Sequeira of BlueLane Technologies

There's a changing security landscape out on the horizon, and its name is virtualization. Incorporating virtualization into your network solves all sorts of problems, but unless you plan for them, it can create a host of them as well.

Think about it. With traditional physical systems, they're usually powered on and operational all the time -- including during your patching and configuration management operations. With virtual machines, that isn't always the case. Your template machines, your snapshots, even your disaster recovery virtual machines may not get their regular security care and feeding like they should, simply because they're not necessarily on all the time.

In this podcast, Allwyn Sequeira, Senior VP of BlueLane technologies talks with us about some of these problems and some solutions to virtualization security. He talks about the BlueLane Virtual Shield that sits between the hypervisor and the virtual machine to rip out exploit traffic as it passes by. Allwyn is a dynamic speaker and definitely passionate about the subject. You'll definitely enjoy the listen.
