VirtSec, Real threat or nothing to worry about
Kris Buytaert
Topic: VirtSec
Audience: All audiences
Description:
VirtSec, the new hot topic in virtualization town, but what it is. Do we need it ? Different opinions fly around on the internet and in the blogosphere. Some security experts claim there is nothing new under the sun and the VirtSec people are just trying to sell products based on the Virtualization Hype. Some see a genuine need to secure new elements in the infrastructure, where as others claim it is just a way for the Virtualization industry to get a piece from the security budget We'll tackle the different VirtSec definitions while looking how the Open Source Virtualization crowd tackles the VirtSec story.
