Securing the physical layer includes securing or hardening the hypervisor, setting you the physical network for maximum security, and securing your storage solution.

Securing Standard Switch Ports
As with physical network adapters, a virtual network adapter can send frames that appear to be from a different machine or impersonate another machine. Also, like physical network adapters, a virtual network adapter can be configured so that it receives frames targeted for other machines.
Securing iSCSI Storage
The storage configured for a host might include one or more storage area networks (SANs) that use iSCSI. When iSCSI is configured on a host, administrators can take several measures to minimize security risks.
Securing ESXi Management Interfaces
Security of the ESXi management interface is critical to protect against unauthorized intrusion and misuse. If a host is compromised in certain ways, the virtual machines it interacts with might also be compromised. To minimize the risk of an attack through the management interface, ESXi is protected with a built-in firewall.
Securing vCenter Server Systems
Securing vCenter Server includes ensuring security of the machine where vCenter Server is running, following best practices for assigning privileges and roles, and verifying the integrity of the clients that connect to vCenter Server.
