•Virtualization software, such as VMware, VirtualBox, or Hyper-V, enables

I N by emulating the underlying hardware and

the creation of virtualGmachines
abstracting the software from the physical resources.
Why is virtualization important?
Isolation: Contain threats and prevent spread within the network.
Safe Testing: Analyze malware and conduct penetration tests safely.

am
Tool Deployment: Easily deploy and manage security tools across VMs.
Incident Response: Rapid cloning, snapshotting, and restoration for forensics.

g r
Resource Efficiency: Optimize hardware usage and reduce costs.
o
Disaster Recovery: Simplified backup, replication, and recovery.
r
E P
Training: Virtual labs for safe, hands-on cybersecurity training.
Patch Management: Streamline updates and ensure consistent configurations.

I T
DevSecOps Support: Integrate security into development processes.

IGN
Cloud Security: Manage and secure virtual assets in cloud environments.
Rapid Updates: Automate and test security patches before deployment.
