VMI (Virtual Machine Introspection): A technique used to monitor the runtime state of a system-level virtual machine. From outside the virtual machine, it inspects the machine’s operations, such as memory and disk activity, to spot any unusual or suspicious behavior. This method provides a way of maintaining a high level of security and integrity within the operational environment.
