SECURITY HARDENING OF VIRTUAL MACHINES AT TIME OF CREATION

摘要

In a computer-implemented method for security hardening of a virtual machine at time of creation, creation of a virtual machine hosted by a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device is initiated in a virtualization infrastructure, wherein a centralized management tool is for centralized management of the virtualization infrastructure. User selected parameters for a security policy are accessed via the centralized management tool. The security policy is associated to the virtual machine such that the virtual machine is security hardened at the time of creation, wherein the security policy associated with the virtual machine comprises the user selected parameters.

1. A computer-implemented method for security hardening of a virtual machine at time of creation of said virtual machine, said computer-implemented method comprising:
initiating creation of said virtual machine hosted by a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device in a virtualization infrastructure, wherein a centralized management tool is provided for centralized management of said virtualization infrastructure; accessing user selected parameters for a security policy via said centralized management tool; and associating said security policy with said virtual machine such that said virtual machine is security hardened at said time of creation of said virtual machine, wherein said security policy associated with said virtual machine comprises said user selected parameters.
