virtualized environments heading into 2012?
 Lack of automation (admin is brought in for every update and change)
 Self service for line of businesses to access/manage their virtual machines
 Strength of security policies and processes around access and change controls
 Insider breach – either malicious or errant
 Logging and reporting tools for audit and/or forensics purposes
 All of the above
