Virtually Compliant - How Server Virtualization Impacts Data Security and PCI Compliance
Are virtualized servers PCI compliant? It depends on who you ask. According to PCI DSS 2.2.1, assessors are told to "verify that only one primary function is implemented per server." Another PCI requirement (1.3) could require you to have a firewall between 2 virtual server environments. Some assessors take the position that server virtualization is not compliant, while others say virtualization of servers works like network segmentation, to reduce the scope of the PCI audit.
But beyond these compliance issues, server virtualization has some significant implications for how existing security controls, such as IDS and IPS function, making them less effective. As virtualization proliferates, companies must to a very thorough analysis of how it impacts the effectiveness of their existing controls, and develop a plan that will ensure virtualization has a positive, rather than a negative impact on security. This March 18th webinar will present both the positive and negative ways that virtualization can impact data security and compliance.

Gartner Group Webcast: The State of Virtual Security
Virtualization can yield reduced cost and increased agility, but no benefits can be realized without effective security. Many virtualization projects are led by operations, with security as an afterthought.
As virtual server implementations move from testing to production, organizations should be taking a hard look at the security of their solution.
