INTRODUCING COMPARTMENTED CLOUD
More than just secure technology, Compartmented Cloud represents a leading vision for secure cloud computing. Compartmented Cloud extends the standard quietPresence cloud as a specialized solution designed to meet or exceed government and industry compliance requirements. Regulatory initiatives such as FISMA, HIPAA, SOX and PCI mandate that entities establish deep accountability for cloud computing platforms processing critical information. With Compartmented Cloud, organizations can embrace the agility of cloud computing while ensuring the safety and security of federal and corporate assets.
SECURE CLOUD ARCHITECTURE
Compartmented Cloud starts with the standard quietPresence cloud architecture and incorporates strong security components to achieve a validated secure cloud configuration. Compartmented Cloud’s security layers allow an organization to extend internal directory services (Active Directory/LDAP) into the cloud. Centralized directory driven authentication and group policies control access to cloud server, storage and network resources. Directory based single sign-on (SSO) capabilities can be further extended to cloud enabled application servers, databases and enterprise applications.
Cloud based Solaris®, Linux®, UNIX®, Microsoft® Windows® and other virtual machines can now be centrally managed with role-based policy enforcement. Compartmented Cloud facilitates compliance by enabling simplified login using directory credentials within each of these virtual deployments, thus creating a line of accountability tied to the centrally trusted identity management system.
Additionally, Compartmented Cloud delivers auditing, logging and real-time monitoring of user activity within the cloud. The reporting layer allows information security personnel to generate deep inspection reports showing detailed cloud user and server access. Pre-configured security and configuration reports are available, and customizable reports can be created.
Compartmented Cloud features:
- Identity assurance & trust
- Private cloud resource & authentications zones
- Secure single sign-on (SSO)
- Federal credentialing interoperability
- Deep service auditing & monitoring
- Secure data transit
