Virtualisation and Trusted Computing

Posted by Ken Y-N on June 16th, 2008 at 12:41pm

David DeValk of Reflex Security recently wrote a rather interesting article on the virtualisation of x86-based server systems in order to reduce costs and power consumption and to increase security and flexibility and other benefits.

The article is mostly about PCI, or Payment Card Industry, Data Security Standard compliance, but the trusted computing mention comes here:

[...]by adopting virtualization as a trusted computing platform and implementing the PCI mandated network security features and functions within the virtual infrastructure organizations are not only able to maintain PCI compliancy at a lower overall cost, but they are also able to increase their overall network security for no or little incremental cost.
