<p> The advent of hypervisors revolutionized the computing industry in terms of <i>malware prevention and detection, secure virtual machine managers, </i> and <i>cloud resilience.</i> However, this has resulted in a disjointed response to handling known threats rather than preventing unknown <i>zero-day</i> threats. This thesis introduces a new paradigm to cloud computing – <i>utility virtual machines</i> – that directly leverages virtualization hardware for protection and eliminates often accepted roles of the operating system kernel. This represents a break from prevailing practices and serves to establish a hardware root of trust for system operation.</p><p>
