Securing Your Data with Virtual Machines: Best Practices

A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a physical computer system. It allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine, providing a way to isolate and run applications in a controlled environment. Virtual machines are often used for testing software, running multiple operating systems on a single computer, and for cloud computing services. They offer flexibility, scalability, and cost savings by allowing for efficient use of hardware resources.
