How do you evaluate the cybersecurity risks of virtualized environments?

Companies should evaluate cybersecurity threats specific to virtualized environments by conducting thorough risk assessments, identifying potential vulnerabilities, and understanding the unique security challenges posed by virtualization. To ensure robust defenses, they should implement multi-layered security measures such as network segmentation, strict access controls, regular security updates, encryption of data and communications, intrusion detection systems, and penetration testing. Additionally, continuous monitoring, employee training on best security practices, and having incident response plans in place are essential for maintaining strong cybersecurity defenses in virtualized environments.
