Simon Crosby knows a thing or two about virtualization and the cloud. He was the driving force behind Xen and then was CTO of Citrix‘s virtualization and cloud business. Crosby left Citrix a few months ago to team with some other former Xen execs to form Bromium, which promises to deliver new levels of security using the cloud and virtualization.
True security by the cloud, for the cloud, delivered by the cloud where ever IT goes is what Bromium seeks. Crosby says that the isolation inherent in virtualization provides a tremendous opportunity for security advancements. It seems like some folks agree with him, as the company raised 9.2 million dollars while still in stealth mode.
I had a chance to sit down with Simon and discuss cloud, virtualization, security and open source the other day. This podcast will be available on Network World, but I wanted to give Secure Cloud Review readers an early sneak peak.
Have a listen and enjoy!
