Virtualization Security Round Table Podcast Episode 13 show notes
- vWire and Auditing
Go to Talkshoe to download or listen to the podcast. Soon to be available also on iTunes.
This was an interesting approach to auditing security with the idea of getting alerts as soon as possible by making use of tools such as Tripwire vWire.
We discussed WHAT should be audited and that this was more for administrators than for a compliance audit. Compliance and Security are different.
