Virtualization security not perfect

Who said that it was?

A special group from security analysts and white hat hackers had been created to crack the hypervisors. Although one method seemed to be harmful, it soon appeared that it is detectable and addressable. It seems that the only way to hack virtualization software is to do it straight from the insight of server room and using special software.

There has been a controversial statement in April that warned organizations that there are some security risks, and that they shouldn’t rush into deploying server virtualization. Although they have released some security and management tools, those were said to be immature and incomplete.

Redhot Future Of IT Part I :Marketing yourself as IT professional

I had promised about the "RedHot IT Future Series" and so we discuss here how you should market yourself EFFECTIVELY as an IT professional in this new (and dangerous) web age! Web is the place where you're a hero today and villain tomorrow. While there are lots of professionals who are active on the web, not all are enjoying a good reputation as they got "personal" with others and got into a cockfight. The passive IT professional has nothing to lose but nothing to gain at all!

I know "marketing" might seem as a greasy term but the idea is to have the truth about you out there. You know you're a good person and your family knows that you're really smart person but the rest of the world doesn't!
