Faster, Better, Stronger - Hardening the Virtual Environment

The burning question of the expanding virtual environments has become
how to measure and improve security. Administrators ask about
hardening their hypervisors so they can migrate Tier 1 applications
and other essential stuff with a degree of confidence. This is not
only to make the business units and auditors happy but every good
attacker likes a challenge. This presentation shows how configuration
of the virtual environment can be faster and easiemake it harder to
compromise.

Location:

https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge

2169 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, USA, Earth, Milky Way, Known Universe

Finding the space can be tricky; it has a red circular logo above the
otherwise inconspicuous door, and is next to a market that sells
fruit.  It is very close to 16th and Mission BART stop.  If you're
driving, leave 15-30 minutes extra to find parking due to the heavy
traffic around there, but you do not have to pay on Sundays.
