VMware Virtual Infrastructure Security Securing ESX and the Virtual Environment Edward L. Haletky Complete Hands-On Help for Securing VMware Infrastructure-by Ed Haletky, Author of the #1 VMware ESX Deployment Guide As VMware has become increasingly ubiquitous in the enterprise, IT professionals have become increasingly concerned about securing it. Now, for the first time, leading VMware expert Edward Haletky brings together comprehensive guidance for identifying and mitigating virtualization-related security threats on "all "VMware platforms. This book reflects the same hands-on approach that made Haletky's "VMware ESX Server in the Enterprise "so popular with working professionals. Haletky doesn't just reveal "where "you might be vulnerable; he tells you exactly "what "to do and "how "to reconfigure your infrastructure to address the problem. "VMware Virtual Infrastructure Security "begins by reviewing basic server vulnerabilities and explaining how security differs on VMware virtual servers and related products. Next, Haletky drills deep into the key components of a VMware installation, identifying both real and theoretical exploits, and introducing effective countermeasures. Coverage includes: - Viewing virtualization from the attacker's perspective, and understanding the new security problems it can introduce - Addressing VMware security holistically, with solutions that encompass all of your VMware and third-party virtualization products - Discovering which security threats the vmkernel does (and "doesn't") address - Learning how VMsafe enables third-party security tools to access the vmkernel API - Understanding the security implications of VMI, paravirtualization, and VMware Tools - Securing virtualized storage: authentication, disk encryption, virtual storage networks, isolation, and more - Protecting clustered VI3 environments that use VMware High Availability, Dynamic Resource Scheduling, vMotion, and Storage vMotion - Securing the deployment and management of virtual machines across the network - Mitigating risks associated with backup, performance management, and other day-to-day operations - Using multiple security zones and other advanced virtual network techniques - Securing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) - Auditing virtual infrastructure, and conducting forensic investigations after a possible breach Until now, VMware professionals have struggled to find coherent, usable information for securing virtual infrastructure. This book fills that gap, providing realistic best practices for protecting even the most complex VMware environment. Edward L. Haletky owns AstroArch Consulting, Inc., which specializes in providing virtualization, security, network consulting and development services. He has attained "virtuoso" status on the VMware Discussion Forums for his work answering security and configuration questions. His first book, "VMware ESX Server in the Enterprise," has been a consistent VMware bestseller. He formerly served on HP's Virtualization, Linux, and High-Performance Technical Computing teams. Tim Pierson speaks regularly on security and virtualization issues at the Pentagon and at top events including Novell's Brainshare, Innotech, and GISSA. He is co-author of "Global Knowledge Windows 2000 Boot Camp." Tom Howarth moderates the VMware Communities forum, and owns TCA Consulting and PlanetVM.Net. He regularly designs enterprise-class virtualization projects, and received the VMware vExpert 2009 award. informit.com/ph
