Many organizations are moving to virtualized and cloud-based infrastructure. The potential benefits are well-proven, but security is just as important as in physical and on-premises environments.
In early 2014, Gartner reported that over 50% of all server workloads had been virtualized and predicted that the vast majority would be virtualized by next year. At the same time, Ovum expects that 80% of enterprises around the world will be using Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in a variety of capacities by 2016. I could cite statistics and anecdotes ad nauseum, but the bottom line is clear: businesses are virtualizing servers, desktops, network functions, and more, while the cloud (whether public, private, or hybrid) is quickly becoming the dominant platform for enterprises both big and small.
