McAfee Sanal Ortamlarınızı Güvenli Kılıyor

Sanallaştırma; sunuculari, ağları ve PCleri kullanma amaçlarımızı değiştirebilmemizi sağlayan teknolojik bir devrim.

Sanallaştırma sayesinde bir tek fiziksel makina üzerinde birçok işletim sistemini çalıştırmak, yani pratikte birçok sanal makinayı(VM) çalıştırabilmeniz mümkün. Fortune 100 listesindeki neredeyse tüm şirketler birçok geçerli sebepten dolayı sanallaştırmayı farklı yollarla kullanıyorlar. Sanallaştırma; işlem verimliliği, maliyet tasarrufu ve daha düzenli bir IT yönetimi anlamına geliyor.

 

Business Benefits of Virtualization

Virtualization is one of the hottest technologies to come along during the past 20 years. It’s a growing trend that promise to more than double in five years, from $5.5 billion in 2006 to $11.7 billion in 2011.

Large and medium size organizations are jumping on the bandwagon eagerly and here’s why.

  • Virtualization reduces hardware and operating costs by as much as 50 percent
  • Virtualization reduces the time it takes to set up new servers by as much as 70 percent because deployment is faster and easier with preconfigured virtual environments
  • Virtualization gives you increased utilization of your server, so that you have the flexibility to support requirements for testing, support, and running special applications
  • Virtualization reduces hardware requirements by a 10 to one or better ratio
  • Virtualization can increase the ratio of servers per administrator from 50:1 to 150:1
  • Virtualization can decrease server recovery time from weeks to days or hours

 

But with the enormous benefits of virtualization, come security risks and challenges. VMs face the same issues as physical systems, but there are security problems that are unique to virtualization.

Security Risks of Virtualization

To fully realize the benefits of virtualization, it’s important to get a handle on the risks and unique security issues of this breakthrough technology.

Virtualized environments face the same risks as physical systems—and more: 

  • Traditional computing platform threat vectors are still a concern—viruses, worms, spyware, Trojans, and other attacks targeting software vulnerabilities and creating buffer overflows, for example
  • The risk of propagating infected virtualized images is very high if you don’t have measures in places to ensure the integrity of virtual machines
  • With virtual environments, there is a single point of attack, the hypervisor, the virtualization platform that allows multiple operating systems to run on a host computer at the same time. The hypervisor can be vulnerable to "hyperjacking" rootkit attacks designed to take control of all the virtual machines under management.
