VMware: The Virtualization Journey:
Managing and Proving Compliance 3Security and Compliance are Key Concerns for CIOs Moving to Cloud
Q.What are the top challenges or barriers to implementing a cloud computing strategy?

SYMANTEC VISION 2012
Demonstrating Compliance Across a Transitioning Environment…
Accelerate Business Critical Virtualization
• Effective Policy Coverage
• Adaptive control assessments
• End to End Visibility
Requiring
Considerations Solutions
• Accelerated provisioning
• Mixed-trust workloads
• Increased risk of data loss across
varied trust zones
• Multiple overlapping regulations
and mandates
• Consistent policies and controls
• Poor visibility and control
Trust and Cloud Computing – Some New Challenges
• Mixed mode levels of trust
• VMs riding on the same Guest with different Trust Levels (PCI)
• Multi-Tenancy protecting Intellectual Property (IP) with shared
Resources
• Auditor, QSA Approval of Design
• Evidence based compliance
• What standards and frameworks do I adopt to minimize risk?
• How do I prove my data is properly protected and segmented?
• How do I automate the application best practices, regulatory
guidelines and vendor standards?
• Separation of consumer and provider
• Consumer delivered governance around workloads
• Evidence from provider around infrastructure compliance
• How do I address data governance, privacy, etc?
• How do we account for change? (Loss of Service)

19Recommendations
Perform risk assessment prior to vSphere environment design
• Physical access
• Roles and responsibilities
• Services and communication
Ensure VMs meet “System Components” definition
Hypervisor of “in scope” VMs always “in scope”
Harden hypervisor
• Multi-factor access
• Least privilege
• Reduced attack-surface
• Defaults removed/changed
• Remote logs
Set only one primary function per VM
Use automated hypervisor and VM patching
Keep all management and support systems “in scope”
