VMWare needs secured just like everything else

http://pcidss.wordpress.com/2007/03/26/virtualization-and-security-by-james-deluccia/

Ever since the day I setup VMWARE and other equivalents in a lab I was amazed at the potential to sandbox systems for testing and usage.  In these environments I built honeynets, tested software exploits, analyzed virii and other malware, and deployed hundreds of enterprise applications (using legit keys mind you) to test and evaluate unique architecture deployments.  As time progressed these virtual sandboxes became a critical tool that I began to run on my home labs, and my laptops as I traveled around the world.

Check out this interesting blog about vmware and security, it looks like a good read, looking forward to checking it out.  Security of the virtual infrastructure is importance particularly with the legislation in the finance sector, identity theft and due diligence.
