New Security Perspective for Virtualized Platforms (original) (raw)

Abstract

Recently, an important transition in IT infrastructure and delivery services occurs, based on the virtualization technology, cloud computing becomes the key for any successful information technology solution. Unfortunately, This success will brings fundamental changes in the classic network security concepts and implementation, since in virtualized environment, components are no longer considered as a separate systems, but resources, data and applications, are seen as services with no visible security perimeter, from this perspective, new adapted security approach to protect such environment is needed; Each physical security solution, like firewalls, intrusion prevention system and network access control, will have a corresponding that fits in the virtual platform, with automation capabilities to monitor, assess network traffic and stop threats accurately. The perspective of this paper is to propose a deep study of the virtualized platform, especially the hypervisor and the inter-vi...
