SSecurity for VVirtualized EEnvironments


Do you protect your business or risk getting hacked?


Why Security for Virtualized Environments?

• Virtualization has emerged as a major enabler for the modern data center, increasing resource utilization, system support options and resilience

• Cloud computing technologies further that transformation, bringing on-demand provisioning and scalability to computing users

• In gaining ever-higher consolidation ratios and operational benefits of virtualization, organizations must not sacrifice Security


Security for Virtualized Environments (SVE) by Bitdefender

Security for Virtualized Environments (SVE) by Bitdefender provides security that is build specifically for the virtualized environments allowing organizations to maintain higher consolidation ratios across their datacenters.


Two types of virtualization: server virtualization

1. For virtualized Windows, Linux and Solaris web/application servers

2. The main server virtualization infrastructure providers are:

- VMware vSphere infrastructure (but not Server or Workstation!)

- Microsoft with Windows Server 2008 R2 (Hyper-V)

- Citrix XenServer infrastructure


Two types of virtualization: desktop virtualization

1. It separates a personal computer desktop environment from a physical machine using the client–server model of computing

2. Sometimes called as “Client Virtualization” or “Virtual Desktop Infrastructure” (VDI)

3. The main desktop virtualization infrastructure providers are:

• VMware View (but not ThinApp or Workstation!)

• Microsoft has virtual desktop infrastructure in Windows Server 2008 (based on Hyper-V hypervisor technology)

• Citrix XenDesktop


Two approaches: with agent vs. agentless


SVE Architecture

• Delivered within a Security Virtual Appliance running on a hardened Linux Server and is managed by Bitdefender Security Console

• SVE deduplicates and centralizes much of the scanning functionality at a single, dedicated virtual appliance on each physical host

• Integrated with Bitdefender Cloud Technologies for offering enhanced protection against 0-day malware

• Build to include coverage of:

• Virtualized servers and desktops (VDI)

• VMware, Citrix, Microsoft, Oracle, or any other system virtualization technology

• Windows, Linux, and Solaris

• File event, process, and memory scanning


The number-one-ranked security technology


VBSpam award in every single antispam test

• Bitdefender analyzes and issues protection for 5 million spam messages every day, or about 35 million spam per week

• Bitdefender has continuously ranked top in Virus Bulletin’s (VB) tests for SPAM winning in July 2011 the 14th VBSpam award in a row
