Protecting a corporate network isn’t as simple as building a wall around it. Threats can still sneak through the network firewall or circumvent security infrastructure altogether. Once they’re inside, they can move around and attack at will since there are few, if any, controls inside the datacenter to prevent malicious traffic. “For a lot of […]

How is network virtualization similar to server virtualization? Well, for one thing they’re very similar conceptually. On a virtualized server, a software abstraction layer (server hypervisor) reproduces the familiar attributes of the physical server in software, allowing the attributes to be programmatically assembled in any arbitrary combination to produce a unique virtual machine (VM) in […]

While attacks on datacenters vary, most high-profile security breaches share one common feature: attackers tend to exploit the fact that, within the datacenter, there are few to no security controls in place. In other words, once attackers have breached the datacenter, they are able to move laterally from server to server, spreading their malware. Unlike […]
