IN THE CLOUD

The Problem of Protecting Cloud Data
Unique challenges to protecting data
Data in the Cloud
Virtual Instances
•
•
•
•
Entire servers, applications, databases, etc. virtualized Unsecured container of sensitive data
Susceptible to unlimited copying
Exposed to uncontrolled brute force attacks Will live in multi-tenant environments
Will be exposed to cloud admins
Will be highly mobile/copyable
Exposed to co-resident lawful order surrender Suffer from data destruction and retention uncertainty
Virtual Storage
•
•
•
•
Data leakage exposure to physical and logical storage breach
Accessible to cloud administrators
Risk of data disclosure from misconfiguration or unanticipated changes in privacy terms
Cloud offered encryption suffers from separation of duties
4
Smarter Compliance and Security
Attaching and enforcing control directly on Data
RBAC
Perimeter
DATA
Perimeter solutions apply security around data
•
•
•
•
Solutions fundamentally can’t solve data protection
Provides diminishing returns on investment Constantly being breached and failing audits
Doesn’t apply well in the cloud
RBAC
Encryption
DATA
Attacker
Data encryption attaches security directly on data
Protection follows the data
Solves separation of duties
Solves multi-tenant data isolation
(internal department and cloud)
Can reduce overall audit scope
Delivers granular audit records
Directly addresses breach and leakage projects Limit scope of breaches
Adheres to “safe harbor” provisions in most disclosure laws
