Abstract
Aspects of the present invention include hypervisor based security using a hypervisor to monitor a VM. In embodiments of the present invention, the information gathered by the hypervisor in the monitoring is compared against a reference image to determine if there are possible rootkits present on the VM. If there are potential rootkits, the VM can be quarantined.
