In this podcast Intel's Malcolm Harkins and HP's Manny Novoa chat about the latest issues in security technologies, notably the emergence of hardware assisted virtualization.

 

With the emergence of software virtualization technologies, allowing for multiple OS's to be run on a single system, Manny and Malcom postulate security risks at the software layer. They discuss how hardware assisted virtualization can establish the management of platform controls and protection of keys at the hardware level, reducing the risk of virtualization systems being maliciously compromised.

 

They also discuss coping with zero-day threats and the benefits of automated management of PC fleets

I think that everything above and actually beyond already implemented.

Your tips about latest issues in security technologies,seems to be of great use

 

Thankx.

what is interesting about this approach is the problem of cardinality of the OS. Which OS is in the lead for processing. This is often the place of leaks where both OS's fail to get priority and hackers can come in.

 

Also interesting with Apache - Direct Admin - Joomla problems.
