Besides the virtual machines are easier to hack into

the fact that it is easier to move files and images among the virtual machines. Besides, the virtual
machines are easier to hack into via network links compared to the physical machines (Roussey,
2017). Therefore, if there is an attack, there is minimal chance that some of the files or
documents can be salvaged. It may, therefore, become difficult to rapidly bring back operations
because the intensity of a cyber-attack may be huge.
The other issue relates to the fact that the number of layers present in a virtualized
environment is huge. Consequently, troubleshooting issues such as events, activity logs, and
crashes can be very difficult. In the modern business environment, firms are keen to have
seamless operations with very limited interruptions. Any time wasted through grounded
operations leads to missed opportunities. Hence, it is imperative that virtual software tools are
properly set up to ensure that all necessary information is captured and monitoring can be done
appropriately. It is only through appropriate monitoring that weaknesses can quickly be picked
up and addressed to have an uninterrupted flow of processes and transactions.
