Few reports have surfaced of security breaches in virtual-server environments, but the potential looms large. "Every single platform we have had in IT eventually gets compromised. There is no reason for us to think that the hypervisor is going to be any different," says Pete Lindstrom, a senior analyst with Burton Group. "While hypervisors seem to pose a fairly small attack-surface, as they multiply across a network, so do the attack surfaces. It is a huge unknown." That's why companies widely adopting virtualization today must have a solid strategy for securing these environments, industry watchers say.
