Category: Tutorial
One of today's most rapidly evolving and widely deployed technologies is server virtualization. Attendees will learn about virtualization security fundamentals with an in-depth treatment of today's most pressing virtualization security
concerns: known attacks and threats, theoretical attack methods, and numerous real-world examples. Then we'll turn our attention to today's
most popular enterprise server virtualization product, VMware vSphere. Attendees will learn about every aspect of locking down ESX and ESXi
servers and the vCenter management server, as well as best practices for securing the virtual machine guests that reside on ESX and ESXi
platforms. We'll also cover virtualization networking techniques in detail, laying out proven strategies for proper segmentation, virtual switching
and routing considerations, network access controls and layer 2 policies, as well as how to build virtual DMZs and integrate with existing
network infrastructure. The latest vSphere technologies will be covered, including Distributed Virtual Switches, vShield Zones, and Host
Profiles.
