Implementation -> Infrastructure Hardening: Applications are running in virtualized environments
Risk and Opportunity
Risk: Through a vulnerability in one service on a server, the attacker gains access to other services running on the same server.
Opportunity: Applications are running in a dedicated and isolated virtualized environments.
