Trends Identified
Hypervisor-based security
(Definition) Security product and service technology which runs virtually, in order to prevent attacks within the virtual environment using VM (Virtual machine). (Application) Prevent any security breach within the virtual environment whilst smart work, BYOD trend and cloud computing are invigorating. (Impact) Through virtual security technology, expansion of smart work, cloud service and etc are accelerating the change of work pattern. Improvement of security leads to an increase in financial services. Cloud security related virtualization technology is worth $ 38 million in Korea and $ 1.5 billion world wide.
