Edward L. Haletky, Virtualization Security
Edward has been working with virtualization security since the first days of VMware ESX support at Hewlett-Packard when ESX v1.5.2 was in use by HP's customers. When ESX v2.0 showed up security moved to the forefront of many of his discussions as it was not being used for often critical but low utilized servers. Now that VMware ESX is now a crucial part of many businesses and the hardware has caught up with the software technology, security is even more important. This all started in late 2004. Now in 2009, Edward has written two books on VMware ESX that include discussions on security.
