There has been much speculation about the security posture of virtualized environments. One identified vulnerability is the “hypervisor” threat in which a hacker can break out of a guest OS and onto the host OS of a server. How great a danger is the hypervisor threat? What security barriers should IT erect before and after they implement their virtual environment? Virtual security expert Hezi Moore will help attendees separate the virtualized wheat from the real chaff.

Speaker Bio: Hezi Moore is the founder of Reflex Security and pioneer of the automated network intrusion response system. He has more than 15 years experience in the IT security and networking industry. Prior to Reflex, Hezi was president of MicroTech Systems and holds a B.S. in computer engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

IDC has stated that the virtualization services market alone is going to reach $11.7 billion by 2011 and in general this technology, which has been around for a good number of years, seems suddenly to be on everyone's mind.

In short, Virtualization is fast becoming a key requirement for every server in the data center, enabling increased workloads in server consolidation projects, efficient software development and testing, resource management for dynamic data centers, application re-hosting and compatibility, and high-availability partitions.

Help with that transformation: submit your speaking proposal today.
