2.1. Why Host Security Matters
When deploying virtualization technologies, the security of the host should be paramount. The Fedora host system is responsible for managing and controlling access to the physical devices, storage and network as well as all virtualized guests themselves. If the host system were to be compromised, not only would the host system be vulnerable, but the guests and their data would be also.
Virtualized guests are only as secure as their host system; securing the Fedora host system is the first step towards ensuring a secure virtualization platform.
