Is a purpose-built virtualization security solution the cure to VM stall? It certainly helps allay the security and ROI concerns that are part of the reticence to deploy.
For Cloud services, top concerns continue to be security, performance, and availability. The key security issues from customers’ point of view seem to be around security defects in the technology itself, unauthorized access to customer information, encryption, application security, identity management, virtualization security etc.

To protect your data center, you must run antivirus scans on your virtual machines (VMs). It’s the right thing to do. It’s more so a question of how to do this right thing the right way.
Chances are that if you are using cloud computing, you are buying a service from someone else. Yes, sometimes organizations build their own private cloud, but let’s view the fundamental purpose of cloud computing as for an organization to outsource some function offered in the cloud.

But moving the PCI-DSS related products and processes to the public cloud is just not yet an easy task. How can your organization stay compliant with virtualization yet still stay within the data security standards?
When it comes to any security—though especially cloud security—there are several areas in which protections have to be applied.
