Abstract

Virtualization is a model that is vastly growing in IT industry. Virtualization provides more than one logical resource in one single physical machine. Infrastructure use cloud services and on behalf of virtualization, cloud computing is also a rapidly growing model of IT industry. Cloud provider and cloud user, both remain ignorant of each other's security. Since virtualization and cloud computing are rapidly expanding and becoming more and more complex in infrastructure, more security is required to protect them from potential attacks and security threats. Virtualization provides various benefits in terms of hardware utilization, resources protection, remote access and other resources. This paper intends to discuss the common exploits of security uses in the virtualized environment and focuses on the security threats from the attacker's perspective. This paper discuss the major areas of virtualized model environment and also address the security concerns. And finally presents a solution for secure virtualization in IT infrastructure and to protect inter communication of virtual machines.
