Embotics, the Virtualization Lifecycle Management™ Company, today announced that David M. Lynch, vice president of marketing at Embotics, is presenting on virtualization security at Interop 2008 in Las Vegas. Lynch will explore the security challenges; both potential and actual, that are inherent in virtual server environments.

What

The growing number of virtual machines (VMs) and easy access to free host software is a challenge for enterprises trying to protect and secure their environments. In this session, Lynch will offer new tips and advice on how to deal with security challenges introduced by VMs and give suggestions for implementing effective VM control and management systems.

Lynch is a 30 year high-tech industry veteran, who for the past 11 years has been working and writing about security technologies and trends ranging from authentication and access control to security middleware, public key infrastructure (PKI), virtual private networks (VPNs), deperimeterization and compliance.

Why

Server virtualization is effectively a new architecture in today’s data centers. Although server virtualization is a valuable technology, it introduces new attack vectors, management challenges and other risks into the data center. By understanding these risks; both potential and actual, organizations can assess their risk profile, create the appropriate strategies and implement the necessary infrastructure to mitigate against them.
