Virtual machine security is more than hardening a guest OS. It means protecting every layer a VM depends on: the host, hypervisor, network paths, admin access, storage, and recovery assets.
Why it matters: a weakness in any one layer can expose workloads, data, and operations. Strong VM security starts with reducing attack surface, controlling privileges, patching consistently, segmenting networks, and planning for backup and recovery.
If you're reviewing your infrastructure security model, this breakdown is a practical place to start.
