Anti-virus software and signatures are out of date for "off" and "suspended" virtual machines
Description
Discussion Text
Creating new virtual machines is as easy as copying a file. Copying files is a quick and efficient way to rollout new virtual machines. Virtual machines can grow at an explosive rate and really tax the security systems of an organization. Many administrative tasks may be automated, but some upgrades and patches require manual tools. For instance, virtual machines may need to be patched, scanned, and purged in response to a virus or worm attack on the network. Therefore, to protect against potential virus and spyware infections, all off and suspended virtual machines will have the latest up-to-date anti-virus software and signatures.
