Virtualization is the Next Big Thing, and certainly you've at least examined it, and probably are using several virtualized servers already. How are you handling the security of your images? How are you securing the guest and host operating systems, and the applications you're running? Virtualization raises certain unique security requirements, and provides some interesting security capabilities, too. Join Steve Riley as he explores the interesting aspects of virtualization and security.

    This was a very informative session.  However, the last minute totally confused me.  Steve says that you shouldn't run a world facing web server in once VM and your corporate applications (e.g. Certificate Server) in another VM.  If you do that you are a dummy. So how can managed virtual host businesses continue to operate?  If I buy a virtual slice of an HP Proliant from someone like Hosting.com and want to run my corporate server there, how do I know that some other company doesn't have a web service running with questionable security practices?  Is Steve suggesting in this last minute of this talk that I can't trust a mission critical server to a Managed Hosting Service?
