Description
Failure to a known state can address safety or security in accordance with the mission/business needs of the organization. Failure to a known secure state helps prevent a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability in the event of a failure of the VMM or a component of the system. Preserving VMM state information helps to facilitate VMM restart and return to the operational mode of the organization with less disruption of mission/business processes.
