Currently
most desktop productivity software including browsers, mail clients, Office
suites, IM, and media players make direct connections to the Internet and/or
run untrusted content. As a result, these applications, which are core to office
productivity, are also the primary vector of infections from Internet-borne
malicious software.
This session
will describe how desktop virtualization can be deployed within an organization
to secure users' desktop applications against Internet-based threats and
untrusted content.
Current
solutions, which are largely signature-based, are largely ineffective at
detecting current sophisticated threats that will create botnets from office
machines as well as leak proprietary data. Virtualization technology is now
"prime time" because of recent advances in chipset technology that
makes it feasible and economical to run several concurrent virtual machines on
the desktop. This session not only will present methods and tools for using
virtualization to secure common desktop applications, but also portend the
future of desktop virtualization where virtualization disappears from the user
experience through seamless integration with the host operating system.
