Joshua Corman, Principal Security Architect, IBM Corp.
Although virtualization will drive down hardware costs and increase server utilization, it will also create new management and security challenges. Server sprawl will be replaced with "virtual server sprawl". New vectors are vulnerable to attack at the management, hypervisor, I/O and hardware levels. Instead of targeting physical machines for profit and access to critical data, malicious internet hackers will target virtual machines instead. Security must uniquely protect virtual servers, networks, and data without constraining the innovation and flexibility virtualization brings with it into the data center. This session will cover unique ways to deliver security to physical networks, servers and endpoints as well as their virtual counterparts in the future.
