The topic of discussion will be Virtualization and Risk, key considerations for securing your virtual enterprise.

As virtualization technology gains a stronger foothold in IT departments, many questions are being raised.  How will this technology affect my existing security posture?  What new concerns need to be addressed to mitigate this risk?  What elements of risk does virtualization share with physical deployments?   

We will address the following:

·         Different components of virtualization technologies

·         Provide perspective on how enterprises that are looking to deploy such technologies should think about their threat profile

·         People, Process and technology concerns that should be addressed before full scale deployment

·         Food for thought about the road ahead
