Evaluación de un escenario de seguridad de los entornos virtualizados en el Data Center de la Carrera de Computación, de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Sede Quito - Campus Sur

Abstract

This technical project indicates how virtualisation has been implemented within industries and how at the same time there is an increase in virtual attacks, which is why, within the Data Centre of the Computer Science Department of the Salesian Polytechnic University, Quito - South Campus, a virtualised environment will be replicated to evaluate using tools that search for security gaps that exploit vulnerabilities, and subsequently document the results obtained. The methodology that best suits this technical project is the Mehari method, which consists of carrying out an audit, risk assessment or security assessment in which the vulnerabilities and threats that the Data Centre is exposed to are analysed. In conclusion, carrying out an assessment of a virtualised environment makes it possible to identify the possible risks to which it is exposed and thus prevent information from being lost or used for malicious purposes.
