Chapter 11. Security Virtualization and Automation

This chapter will cover the concepts and practice of using virtualization and automation with respect to security in today’s networks. Virtualization and automation can mean many things. The concept of using a hypervisor platform that can emulate the hardware equivalent is one type of virtualization that likely first comes to mind. As for automation, you might think of systems taking action based on a simple rule set over APIs or native integrations. This chapter will go well beyond those examples, as virtualization and automation mean much more in the networks operated today.
