Virtualisation
What is virtualized security?
Virtualized security, or security virtualization, refers to software-based security solutions designed to operate within a virtualized IT environment. This differs from traditional, hardware-based network security, which is static and runs on devices such as traditional firewalls, routers, and switches.
Unlike hardware-based security, virtualized security is flexible and dynamic. Instead of being tied to a device, it can be deployed anywhere in the network and is often cloud-based. This is essential for virtualized networks, where operators dynamically generate workloads and applications; virtualized security ensures that security services and functions evolve with these dynamically created workloads.
Considerations related to cloud security (such as isolating multitenant environments in public cloud environments) are also important for virtualized security. The flexibility of virtualized security is useful for securing hybrid and multi-cloud environments, where data and workloads migrate within a complex ecosystem with multiple vendors.
What are the benefits of virtualized security?
Virtualized security is now essential to meet the complex security requirements of a virtualized network. Moreover, it’s more flexible and efficient than traditional physical security. Here are some specific benefits:
Cost-effectiveness
Virtualized security allows a company to maintain a secure network without significant expenditures on expensive, proprietary hardware. Pricing for cloud-based, virtualized security services is often based on usage, which can provide additional savings for resource-efficient organizations.
Flexibility
Virtualized security features can track workloads anywhere, which is crucial in a virtualized environment. They provide protection across multiple data centers, multi-cloud, and hybrid cloud environments, allowing an organization to leverage all the benefits of virtualization while keeping data secure.
Operational efficiency
Virtualized security is faster and easier to implement than hardware-based security and doesn't require IT teams to install and configure multiple hardware devices. Instead, they can deploy security systems through centralized software, enabling rapid scalability. Furthermore, by running security technology through software, security tasks can be automated, freeing up IT teams' time.
