View Datasheet Download Virtualization & Risk White Paper
Overview
According to a recent Information Week survey, only one in eight enterprises have a formal security or information protection strategy for their virtual infrastructure. What is your security strategy for virtual infrastructure?
Whether you are contemplating, implementing, or currently managing a virtual infrastructure, you are probably quite comfortable with the economic and architectural flexibility benefits from virtualization. However, are you confident in your approach to vulnerability, security and risk management? Was security part of the requirements when building your virtual infrastructure? Do you have proper policies and procedures to deal with rogue virtual servers, patch management, operating system separation and change control? Are you aware of technology best practice to secure your virtual infrastructure?
Benefits
As part of our Secure Virtualization Implementation Services Foundstone will perform an agile assessment to analyze the key areas that influence the security of your virtual infrastructure. Obtaining this understanding of how virtualization affects your organization’s security posture can help you compare the findings with your desired security assurance level. This understanding can also be leveraged to address compliance-related challenges presented by virtualization initiatives. Foundstone’s experienced security consultants have worked with virtualization vendors to secure their products and are therefore highly qualified to help you create a security report card for your virtual infrastructure.
Methodology
Foundstone assesses your virtual infrastructure in the following three major phases:
- Architecture and Design Review
- Foundstone will provide insight to your current virtual infrastructure architecture and design specifically as it relates to security
- Virtual Infrastructure Configuration Review
- Foundstone will assess configuration of your virtual machines and hosts to identify any insecure configuration associated with the deployed product
- Policy and Procedure Gap Analysis
- Through interviews Foundstone will determine whether current policies and procedures are adequate to cover the risks presented within virtual environments
Scope
Secure Virtualization Implementation Services projects typically take 1-2 weeks depending on the size and complexity of your virtual infrastructure.
