Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a virtualization protection system (VPS) that leverages virtual machine monitor (VMM) technology. In some embodiments, a computer system contains a host operating system and one or more virtual machines that run on “guest” operating systems. The VPS makes certain areas of memory of the computer system read-only, making it essentially impossible for the virtual machines or other component to compromise the system.
