Skyrecon joins VMware's TAP


SkyRecon Systems, the premier provider of integrated, proactive endpoint security solutions, today announced that it has joined VMware's highly regarded Technology Alliance Program (TAP). SkyRecon's involvement in TAP brings to bear its StormShield Unified Client Security solution, the first proactive, multi-layer, real-time defense system for network endpoints residing in and connecting to the increasingly prevalent number of virtual IT environments.

StormShield addresses each critical aspect of endpoint protection, from intrusion prevention to application and device control, to content encryption, all through a single lightweight agent. StormShield offers flexibility and true enterprise integration, making it an ideal component in any comprehensive approach to protecting physical and virtual enterprise endpoints, including mobile devices that are routinely taken beyond the physical perimeter of an organization and therefore introduce a greater risk of data leakage. An organization's IT security policy can no longer be restricted to the physical perimeter and the physical devices that comprise the perimeter, but must also consider the virtual perimeter and the virtual computing environment -- encompassing the mobile workforce, virtual servers, and increased access to sensitive business data.

"SkyRecon's involvement in VMware's TAP program will be of great benefit to IT departments seeking an endpoint security solution to support their overall security initiatives," said Sean Martin, CISSP, Vice President, Marketing for SkyRecon. "The partnership raises the awareness of StormShield's endpoint protection capabilities for protecting the virtual environments and the sensitive data that they host -- including the virtual images themselves."

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
