Network Intelligence provides virtualization security audits to help organizations secure their virtual environments. They assess virtual server configuration, controls, security and identify risks. The audit focuses on governance, configuration, management, physical security and controls specific to virtualization. It examines identity management, security incident management, risk management, and vulnerability testing. Network Intelligence also helps organizations implement and secure desktop virtualization by identifying suitable desktops, ensuring business continuity, analyzing cost savings, and addressing challenges like infrastructure, training, user experience and availability.

1. Virtualization
Security Audit
Background
Server Virtualization is defined as the capability to run multiple operating system images on a single
hardware server at the same time. To grow in the fast paced environment, organizations have been
implementing server virtualization being cost effective and high return on investment. Securing virtual
machines is equally important as securing the physical servers. Hence the guest operating system that runs
in the virtual machine is subject to the same security risks as a physical system. Therefore, it is critical that
you employ the same security measures in virtual machines that you would for physical servers.
The NII Approach
We help organization to identify how virtualized environment might impact their business
 Administrators may not be knowledgeable about exploits which specifically target virtual machine
environments
 Inadequate or insufficient tools available for proper monitoring of the virtualized environment
 Inadequate training of administrators in virtualization technologies and problems
 Compromised system security and confidentiality
 Insufficient allocation of resources
 Security breaches leading to lost productivity, reputation loss, and remediation costs
How we help
We provide management with a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the configuration,
controls over, and security of the virtualized servers operating in the enterprise’s computing environment.
This audit mainly focuses on governance, configuration, management, and physical security of the relevant
virtualized servers in the enterprise, with specific emphasis on control issues specific to virtualized
environments.
Key Audit Areas
 Identity management
 Security incident management
 Risk management

2. DESKTOP VIRTUALIZATION
Desktop Virtualization has been growing maturity of the market recently as it has replaced the traditional
approach of managing OS, applications and user settings on one at a time basis. It has more flexible approach
which separates a personal computer desktop environment from a physical machine using a client server model
computing. In other words desktop virtualization has major impact on the people or group of peoples who need
to work in an organization together on different processes and their interaction with new technologies.
The NII Approach
We help organization to identify how desktop virtualized environment might impact their business
 Lower cost of deploying applications.
 Reduced IT staff, increased productivity, and the ability to rapidly adapt to change by adding users,
supporting teleworking, hot-desking, etc.
 secure remote access to an enterprise desktop environment
 Anywhere access from connected devices
 Organization at some extend eliminates redundant data, workload and management process.
How can we help
We at NII help organizations to benefit from desktop virtualization by helping to:
 Identify which desktops in the organization are ideal for desktop virtualization.
 Identify if organization needs business continuity and disaster recovery plan as the advanced
desktop virtualization solutions are capable of doing it.
 Identify and analyse how organization will save money and time with this solution.
 Decide on how organization can benefit from virtual desktops in terms of productivity.
 Ensure organizations benefit from centralized management and control i.e., as all desktops can be
managed and controlled from a central location.
 With central management how organizations can benefit with fast and easy administration and
security policies.
Key Audit Areas
Typical challenges that you are likely to face when implementing desktop virtualization are:
 Infrastructure and storage
 Lack of trained resources
 User experience
 Flexibility
 Availability
 Network performance
