Many organizations are beginning to move into virtualized environments, which allows for significant savings in energy and hardware costs. However, these environments use the same operating systems and applications as physical environments and therefore share the same security challenges.

This white paper examines how you can implement a successful, consistent security strategy through a coordinated approach between IDS/IPS systems and virtual appliances to protect these environments from malware and other malicious attacks. Learn about:

• The "defense-in-depth" principle and how it is an essential aspect of any effective security plan
• Current virtualization security approaches and the limitations of each
• Benefits of a coordinated approach to protecting the virtualized environment between the security management of the IDS/IPS system and the virtualized appliance
• And more
