For example, during targeted attacks. The hypervisor is therefore the cornerstone of security for a virtualized infrastructure.

Existing protection solutions remain complex, both because of the diversity of virtualization techniques, which increasingly involve dedicated hardware, and because of the highly heterogeneous security mechanisms themselves. All of these factors are rapidly...
