Virtualized environments introduce a unique set of security concerns that CISOs must understand and manage. In this episode, we break down how hypervisors, virtual machines, and containers work—and how these technologies change the security landscape. You’ll learn about hypervisor attacks, inter-VM threats, virtual network segmentation, and the implications of snapshot management and VM sprawl. We explore how virtualization platforms like VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM must be hardened and monitored.From an executive perspective, securing virtual environments requires proper configuration management, role-based access, and rigorous patching policies across both host and guest systems. We also discuss virtualization’s role in disaster recovery, cloud migration, and lab environments, emphasizing how these operational benefits must be weighed against potential risks. The CCISO exam expects you to demonstrate fluency in securing virtualized infrastructure as part of a broader enterprise strategy—this episode gets you there. Ready to start your journey with confidence?
