People can argue all day about the pros and cons of VMware ESX security, but I want to give you 10 specific recommendations you can implement today. At VMWORLD 2006, I offered these 10 recommendations to improve ESX security in your shop.
- Use Firewall and Antivirus software for COS. Just as in any other operating system, this provides basic protection
- Use VLANs to segment the physical network so only machines that are required to see each other are able to do so
- When installing ESX, use security=high
- Do not allow root level access over SSH and use secure commands
- Disable all unnecessary services in console OS
- Use VirtualCenter to help you manage granular security access
- Stay current with ESX patches
- Harden Guest Operating Systems
- Control User Level Access using VirtualCenter
- Document and monitor configuration changes in your environment, especially changes in security settings
You can download a PDF of my presentation materials here.
Hope these recommendations provide you with a more secure virtual environment.

In a civil case, a judge can allow the jury to question a document-destroying party’s intentions. For example, judges in certain cases will tell jurors they should assume missing documents are harmful simply because they were destroyed–even if they never see the contents.

Living in Florida there was an urgent need of shredder in the office so I called up the saleman who told me there was No sales tax on purchases delivered out of California! 10 year warranty on cutting heads & 1 year warranty on mechanical parts (parts only)!

The saleman told me from whom I bought the shredder. All office shredders roll on casters for convenient sharing among offices. Every shredder model has a 10-year warranty on cutting heads and can take staples and paper clips which saves office stationary too.
