Certified Virtualization Security Expert, Part 2 of 6: Routing and Security
with experts Duane Anderson, Tim Pierson
Course description
This course takes a look at how traffic routs and from the perspective of the hacker and how to manipulate or inspect and change it. It then moves into VM's and ESX hosts on both the same switches or port groups. Then SAN security with both fiber channel and iSCSI, and zoning. It will finish up with Security features of iSCSI, authentication and the steps in securing it.
