Security is a very important area of virtualization that must not be over-looked when deploying your virtual infrastructure. Too often proper security is not implemented when planning and configuring virtual environments which can leave your host servers and virtual machines vulnerable. The default security settings for VMware VI3 provide a decent level of security but can definitely be improved upon to make it even better. By not understanding security properly you also risk making your environment less secure by making configuration changes that can weaken security. The top 10 list for security includes information on the security model and design of VMware VI3, tips and guidelines for hardening and protecting your servers and articles that cover the security challenges that are associated with virtual environments. Included in the list is selected material from VMworld presentations, white papers, security templates and articles. There are many ways of implementing security and after you read through the documents in this list you should have a better understanding on how to implement security correctly to protect your virtual machines, host servers and more importantly your data.
