Welcome to September's Security Newsletter! In the newsletter this month you'll find plenty of content and information on virtualization. Patch management and compliance management in a virtual environment are topics that many IT professionals are interested in today. The flexibility virtual machines provide, bringing them online when and where you need to, can make it challenging to ensure all those virtual machines are in compliance with your current IT policy. Keeping virtual machines offline for extended periods almost guarantees that they will be out of compliance the next time they are brought online. Ensuring that even offline virtual machines are kept up to date with the latest security updates for the operating system (OS) and all applications, as well as the latest antimalware signatures could help avoid costly security exposures in your environment.
