CRN Roundtable: Security in a virtualised world

Concern is mounting over the threats that virtualisation poses to end users' security. In this roundtable discussion, hear how the channel can put their customers' minds at ease.

The recent boom in virtualisation adoption is leaving end users wide open to a raft of new security threats.

According to Gartner, 60 per cent of virtualised servers will be less secure than the physical servers they replace until 2012.

In this exclusive roundtable Q&A sponsored by Computerlinks, CRN's news editor Doug Woodburn chats about the challenges facing the channel in this space with a panel comprising of Dave Ellis, director of new technology and services at Computerlinks, Caroline Ikomi, technical director at Check Point, John Hurley, senior technical consultant at RSA, Andy Dancer, CTO at Trend Micro and Nick Hutton, technical director at Virtual Machine Company.
