The Four Horsemen of the Virtualization Apocalypse
“Securing data begins, oddly enough, in the Data Center ”

In the headlong rush to virtualize, consolidate, and go green, have you misplaced something besides your wallet and watch? Maybe the keys to your back door?

Join Dwayne and Mike for lunch on December 4th as they extract advice from Chris Hoff, thought leader on securing virtual environments. Chris is Chief Security Architect - Systems & Technology Division and Blogger at Unisys and spoke at the 2008 Black Hat conference on this topic.

When: Thursday, December 4th, 11:30 a.m. Eastern
Where: Your Office - Cisco WebEx

You will learn to distinguish three separate fundamental issues:

1.) Securing Virtualization
2.) Virtualizing Security
3.) Security Via Virtualization

You will learn:

1.) A practical approach to securing your data in a virtualized environment
2.) The changes you can make today to further secure your environment

You should attend if:

1.) You are contemplating a virtualization project
2.) You have started a virtualization project
3.) You are "finished" with a virtualization project
4.) You care anything at all about securing your data

Don't bother joining if:

1.) You want to hear about guest escape, hyperjacking or other hypervisor type attacks
2.) You want to hear your 23rd ROI discussion on power, cooling or space
3.) You are already tired of virtual-anything and getting road rage over virtual emails
