by the company. Therefore, we are performing security evaluation on the given virtual
machine image. Also, identified the security issues on the system by using the one of the
security evaluation tools wish to perform the investigation. To perform evaluation of security
on a given virtual machine image file:
 Describe the how to investigate the system security
 Use system security tool to investigate the system security and describe the
results.
 Finally, provide the proposal on how the system can be secured and also
address the determined security issues.
These are will be analyzed and discussed in detail.
