What Works In Virtualization Security?

Is there any part of IT hotter than virtualization? CIOs see big savings, and they are jumping in with both feet.

With all of its unquestionable benefits, virtualization brings with it both old and new security issues. Join one the nation's top virtual security gurus, Tom Liston, and other virtualization experts, users, and vendors in Washington, DC on August 7-8, and hear how to get the most out of your Virtualization Security strategies.

This is the only technical conference focused on Virtualization Security. It features highly interactive sessions and experts and users who share lessons learned from the trenches. The goal is to help you learn from their mistakes and from their discoveries, and at the same time, discuss the latest processes and technologies. Get answers to these questions and more...
