Service Processors, Virtualization and Green Computing

Changing the Data Center Under Your Feet

Service processors are hidden "computers within your computer." As full function computing devices, they enable anyone to hack your systems. Present security measures and log management cannot protect from this threat.

Service processors have a major impact on how you manage virtualization and virtualization security. Service processors break all the rules.

Green data centers require service processors be on and open to the network—thus opening your company to cyber intrusion.

PCI, Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and NERC CIP demand these processors be secured, logged, audited.

• The foundation to "green data center"
• Cannot be secured with existing log management systems
• Is a hidden back door to your entire enterprise
• Must be protected for ALL COMPLIANCE
• Cannot be turned off and remain compliant
• Air gapping the connection doesn’t protect against 'crash-cart' internal attacks
