Briefings Direct

Virtualization has certainly taken off, but less attention gets directed to how to better manage virtualization, to gain better security using virtualization techniques, and also to find methods for compliance and regulation of virtualized environments -- but without the pitfalls of complexity and confusion. Virtualization is new enough that best practices are still being formed. To help learn about new ways that systems log tools and analysis are aiding the ramp-up to virtualization use, BriefingsDirect's Dana Gardner spoke with Charu Chaubal, senior architect for technical marketing, at VMware; Chris Hoff, chief security architect at Unisys, and Dr. Anton Chuvakin, chief logging evangelist and a security expert at LogLogic.
