Overview
The growing reliance on virtual machines (VMs) also introduces significant security vulnerabilities. Communication between VMs is fully undetected by traditional hardware firewalls. In addition, when VMs move, they usually change IP addresses, rendering firewalls useless.

How can security administrators reduce the complexities of firewall and VLAN management? Is there a simple way to secure virtual environments?

To meet these challenges, businesses are turning to software-based access management solutions. Designed to control the access to physical or virtual systems without managing firewalls or VLANs, these security solutions are helping large corporations protect their critical assets. This white paper will examine the challenges of traditional security approaches and reveal the many advantages of software-based access management.
