As the popularity of Cloud Computing continues to grow, so do the conversations surrounding security. (See recent survey regarding CIO concerns surrounding the Cloud)
This conversation actually has two parts. The first: Virtualizing security involves moving existing software applications into the Cloud. The primary issue is often compatibility. Will a given security application work in a Cloud environment? What, if any, modifications or accommodations will the designers need to make to the software to insure proper functionality? These same questions must be addressed as any application, not just security programs are virtualized. At BlueLock, we believe the transition to the Cloud should be seamless, with few barriers to enter or leave a given Cloud.
The other side of the conversation, securing Virtualization, revolves around the question of making Cloud Computing environments more secure. With security tools from Checkpoint, IBJ and Shavlik, BlueLock offers a secure and resilient environment today.
