  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING VIRTUAL MACHINES BY RESTRICTING ACCESS IN CONNECTION WITH A VULNERABILITY AUDIT
    Publication number: 20100199351
    Abstract: A method and system for securing a virtual machine is disclosed. An initiation signal from the host system that is generated upon startup of the virtual machine is intercepted, and a network connection on the host system accessible by the virtual machine is restricted in response. Then, the virtual machine is queried for preexisting vulnerabilities, and such data is received. Access by the virtual machine to the network connection is controlled based upon a comparison of a security policy, which is associated with the virtual machine, to the received preexisting vulnerabilities.
