WHY SECURITY IS SO IMPORTANT IN VIRTUALIZATION? High-density Servers larger impact if compromised VM Sprawl instant provisioning, offline machines: more exposure points Intra-VM Traffic creates blind spots, threats bypass perimeter Dynamic IT Loads Live Migration, ever-changing security posture

SECURITY IN LAYERS  The OSI stack model has seven layers:  Layer 7: Application Layer Layer 6: Presentation Layer Layer 5: Session Layer Layer 4: Transport Layer Layer 3: Network Layer Layer 2: Data Link Layer Layer 1: Physical Layer By default, when thinking about network security, there is something of a tendency to focus on issues at Layer 3. However, in reality, we need to look both up and down the stack to address the security risks we face today.

TODAY’S NEED: ADDITIONAL LAYER OF HYPER-V PROTECTION Multi-tenant protection Network virtualization support Control and protect intra-VM traffic Stateful, deep packet inspection Security follows VMs during Live Migration Granular QoS Aggregate, analyze, audit logs Agentless, incremental scan Orchestrate scans Set thresholds to avoid AV storms Centralized management Proactive real-time monitoring Application level protection Isolate VMs: security policies Leverage Hyper-V Extension Manage Risk, Improve Protection, Ensure Compliance Additional Security and Compliance Capabilities

5 BEST PRACTICES FOR SECURING HYPER-V 1. Isolate VMs with a virtual firewall 2. Use agentless anti-virus 3. Enforce compliance 4. Use intrusion detection system 5. Set up centralized management

1. ISOLATE VMS WITH A VIRTUAL FIREWALL

2. USE AGENTLESS ANTI-VIRUS

Incremental Anti-Virus Scan based on Changed Blocks Tracking (CBT) Common Full System Anti-Virus Scan 1.Scans all the files over and over again 2.Takes from 40 MINUTES up to SEVERAL HOURS 3.Consumes valuable IOPS and Virtual Machine resources, heavy impact on host performance 1.Scans changes only 2.Takes from SECONDS up to 5-7 MINUTES 3.Does not consume any Virtual Machines resources, almost no affect on host performance Performance

Real FULL System Scans Log of Virtual Machine, Using CBT This is what you want to see in a log after scanning Virtual Machine DateScanning Time seconds seconds seconds seconds!

3. ENFORCE COMPLIANCE  Do regularly monitor and test networks/systems that have payment card data – IDS (Intrusion Detection System).  Do implement and enforce a company Information Security Policy.  Do install and keep up-to-date, a firewall that protects cardholder data stored within company systems – Virtual Firewall.  Do use and regularly update anti-virus software – Anti-virus with agentless capabilities. PCI-DSS, HIPPA, Sarbanes-Oxley

4. INTRUSION DETECTION Real-time threat monitoring:

5. CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT Management Console Anti-Virus Virtual Firewall IDS
