This white paper discusses a coordinated approach for intrusion detection and prevention in a virtualization environment. 
Virtualization environments share many of the same security challenges faced by physical server environments. This paper explores the challenges of protecting, and the opportunities for improving the security of, virtualized environments. It outlines a Coordinated Approach for Intrusion Detection and Prevention which can be deployed today, and that is architected to take advantage of additional capabilities which virtualization vendors are adding to their platforms.
