Taking a practical approach in developing markets served by the book, this hands-on title is the first to join in one of the most important and sought to use virtualization to improve security, including sandboxing, disaster recovery and high availability, forensic analysis, and honeypotting. It's getting buzz and traction in actual use at an impressive rate, Gartner research shows that virtualization will be the most significant trends in IT infrastructure and operations over the next four years. With the growing adoption, become increasingly common for even small and medium business, security becomes more serious attention, both in terms of how to secure virtualization and how virtualization can serve a critical security objectives. The title there and be on your way to meet the needs for secure virtualization, but security professionals do not yet have a book that describes many virtualization security application that will become increasingly important in terms of their employment. This book is the first to fill that need, which includes tactics such as isolating a virtual environment for testing applications on the desktop, create a virtual storage solution for immediate disaster recovery and high availability in the network, migrating physical systems to virtual systems to analyze, and create a virtual system equipped to attract the attention of hackers and the threat of exposing the potential for an actual production system. About Technologies sandbox is an isolated environment set up to run and test applications that may be a security risk. Employing virtualization on the actual production system, not just a test environment, produce the same benefits for disaster recovery and high availability. While traditional disaster recovery methods require time-consuming reinstallation of the operating system and applications before restoring data, backup to a virtual machine makes the recovery process easier, faster, and efficient. Virtual machines can be restored to the same physical machine or a completely different machine if the original machine has experienced a hardware failure can not be repaired. * The first book to collect a complete set of all tools and strategies for virtualization security in a single volume * Covers all the major virtualization platforms, including market leader VMware, Xen, and Hyper-V virtualization platform of Microsoft, the new part of Windows Server 2008 released in June 2008 * Wide range of appeal to a variety of security professionals, including administrators, researchers, consultants, and forensics
