With VMworld 2016 fast approaching, let’s discuss a challenge facing many businesses when migrating to a virtualized platform: security. First of all, we need to separate between two scenarios. In a ‘Greenfield’ scenario, you’re building and deploying brand new applications into a virtualized data center. Clearly, this is an ideal situation, because you can essentially bake in security from the ground up. It is more likely, however, that you’ll have a ‘Brownfield’ scenario, where you are migrating existing business applications to a virtualized data center. In this case you need to migrate and adjust existing security policies for the new virtual environment.
