Virtualization Security: Protecting Virtualized Environments (Paperback)

Virtualization changes the playing field when it comes to security. There are new attack vectors, new operational patterns and complexity, and changes in IT architecture and deployment life cycles. What's more, the technologies, best practices, and strategies used for securing physical environments do not provide sufficient protection for virtual environments. This book includes step-by-step configurations for the security controls that come with the three leading hypervisor--VMware vSphere and ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008, and Citrix XenServer.

• Includes strategy for securely implementing network policies and integrating virtual networks into the existing physical infrastructure
• Discusses vSphere and Hyper-V native virtual switches as well as the Cisco Nexus 1000v and Open vSwitch switches
• Offers effective practices for securing virtual machines without creating additional operational overhead for administrators
• Contains methods for integrating virtualization into existing workflows and creating new policies and processes for change and configuration management so that virtualization can help make these critical operations processes more effective

This must-have resource offers tips and tricks for improving disaster recovery and business continuity, security-specific scripts, and examples of how Virtual Desktop Infrastructure benefits security.

保護 VMware、Citrix 和 Microsoft 虛擬環境

虛擬化改變了安全領域的規則。它帶來了新的攻擊向量、新的操作模式和複雜性，以及 IT 架構和部署生命週期的變化。此外，用於保護實體環境的技術、最佳實踐和策略並不能為虛擬環境提供足夠的保護。本書提供了三個領先的虛擬化管理器（VMware vSphere 和 ESXi、Microsoft Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 和 Citrix XenServer）的安全控制的逐步配置。

• 包括安全實施網絡策略並將虛擬網絡整合到現有的物理基礎設施中的策略


• 討論 vSphere 和 Hyper-V 原生虛擬交換機以及 Cisco Nexus 1000v 和 Open vSwitch 交換機


• 提供了在不給管理員增加額外操作負擔的情況下保護虛擬機器的有效實踐


• 包含將虛擬化整合到現有工作流程中並創建新的變更和配置管理策略和流程的方法，以使虛擬化能夠更有效地幫助這些關鍵操作流程

這本必備資源提供了改善災難恢復和業務連續性的技巧和訣竅，以及針對安全性的腳本和虛擬桌面基礎設施如何提供安全性的示例。
