Don't worry Hoff, 2 out of 3 ain't bad - security in virtual environments, the next big thing

My friend Chris Hoff has himself all worked up. In fact Hoff is in a huff. What has Christofer (for those who may not realize he spells his name funny) so worked up you ask? It seems the good folks over at InfoWorld are staging an Executive Forum on virtualization next month down in NYC.  No where on the agenda is even a mention of security and the challenges that a secure virtualization environment poses.  Chris goes so far as to offer, on his own dime, to go down and personally deliver a presentation on security and virtualization. Well Chris it would be nice to see the InfoWorld folks take you up on this, but I would not hold my breath.

But Chris there is good news.  I know for a fact that security in virtualized environments is going to get the attention it deserves.  How do I know this you ask?  Simple, it is my 2 out of 3 ain't bad test.  No, I am not talking about some Meatloaf song from Bat Out of Hell.  I am talking about last week alone doing two interviews. One with a large analyst firm and one with a large VC firm who were only interested in my take and what StillSecure was going to do about the problems around security and virtualization.  The fact that both the analyst and VC asked me in the same week, makes it a high probability of this becoming the next hype sector in security.  In fact the only thing missing is a media interview request.  Something tells me I will get one of those very soon too.

So Chris you are out in front of this one, but have no fear.  Security in virtual environments is going to be big!
