Stating the obvious, our customers continue to make investments in virtualization. To support them, BeyondTrust has always been on the leading edge of providing tools and solutions in that regard. Whether it for managing privileges on virtual hosts, or scanning private cloud assets for flaws, BeyondTrust has always been at the forefront of security and compliance technology, helping our customers confidently deploy their virtualization investments. Given the rapid rate of technology evolution in the virtualization arena, we thought it'd be a good idea to survey our community to see what else we could provide them by way of helping them secure their virtual environments.
Earlier this year, we designed a survey that set out to find out what technologies our customers relied upon for their virtual deployments, as well as how they managed, secured and reported on those assets. A quick infographic on the survey results appears below this blog post.
What Did We Learn?
For one thing, we learned that virtualization admins aren't totally outside of the security lifecycle, in fact, many of them participate willingly:
- 58% said they use security tools regularly (but most of that is antivirus!)
- 49% say they patch regularly
- 30% says they scan assets weekly, at least
