McAfee, one of the world’s leading security companies, today unveiled what it refers to as the industry’s first service designed to help organizations securely deploy virtualization technologies.
As part of its strategy to provide the most complete solution for secure virtualization, McAfee Foundstone Professional Services also outlined a set of security guidelines covering people, processes and technology to educate enterprises adopting virtualization technologies.
“With the popularity of virtualization and the rush to reap its benefits, companies may not always follow the best security best practices,” said Patrick Hayati, Regional Director McAfee, Middle East. “Many of the security practices that work in physical computing environments also work in the virtual world, yet there are some unique requirements. Our new service will help customers meet the security requirements of these new virtual environments.”
McAfee offers additional insight into securing virtual environments in “Virtualization and Risk – Key Security Considerations for your Enterprise Architecture,” a new paper available at http://www.mcafee.com/virtualization.
