Abstract

The benefits of server virtualization are so compelling that virtualized environments are now a part of business environments large and small. As with their physical counterparts, though, virtualized systems require security software to be installed and managed. Kaspersky Lab has designed their security management system to provide a consistent interface across both physical and virtual systems.

Kaspersky Lab commissioned Tolly to evaluate Kaspersky Security Management and comparable security management products from Trend Micro in a scenario where both physical and virtual systems are managed. Testing confirmed that Kaspersky users can administer both physical and virtual environments from a single security console, while users of the Trend Micro products need to install and use separate management products for physical and virtual environments.
