Description: KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) security refers to the measures and protocols implemented to protect virtualized environments that use this virtualization technology on various operating systems. KVM allows the Linux kernel to act as a hypervisor, facilitating the creation and management of virtual machines. Security in KVM is crucial as virtual machines may share physical resources, posing security risks if not properly managed. Security features include isolation of virtual machines, the use of technologies like SELinux and AppArmor to control access to resources, and the implementation of secure virtual networks. Additionally, KVM allows integration with security management tools that can monitor and audit the behavior of virtual machines. KVM security also encompasses the protection of data in transit and at rest, as well as the authentication and authorization of users accessing virtual machines. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, KVM security becomes an essential component to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data in virtualized environments.
