By saying that encryption is not enough for cloud security, I don’t mean that you also need other types of protection like server security, identity management, etc.  I think most people deploying cloud computing plan to implement more than encryption for security.  What I mean is that encryption alone is not enough in an encryption solution when it comes to cloud environments.  Of course, industry-standard encryption is essential, but it’s table stakes.  When dealing the multi-tenant nature of the public cloud, or even the inter-departmental shared resources of a private cloud, how encryption... read more

For the last few months, we’ve been conducting a cloud, virtualization, and VDI security survey of 1200 IT professionals from larger companies in 6 countries around the world. Not only did I get to help shape the questions on the survey, I’ve also been on the team interpreting the results. We’ve learned more than a few things we actually were not expecting to learn. Here is a collection of the most interesting top findings about the state of cloud and virtualization security. I’ll be blogging about some of them in more detail over the next few weeks, but in the meantime, here is the big... read more

Today at Synergy, Citrix announced “Project Olympus,” effectively making open source clouds a more viable option for enterprises. In the past, it was cloud providers like Rackspace who tended to focus on open source cloud infrastructure, while enterprises tended to make more conservative choices where support contracts were available. The new support from Citrix, along with about 60 other supporting commercial hardware and software vendors, should go a long way towards helping enterprises see OpenStack as an enterprise-grade choice of cloud infrastructure. Enterprises can now get a Citrix-certified... read more

Security FOR the Cloud

Posted by Andy Dancer in Cloud-based Security, Securing the Cloud, Virtualization Nov 16th, 2009 | Comments Off
At Trend Micro we are leading the way in security FROM the cloud with our Smart Protection Network by providing threat correlation in the cloud.  That strategy, rubbished by some at the time, has since been proved out by the number of competitors now trying to imitate it and the recent real world test results from NSS labs. We were also lucky enough to acquire Third Brigade, a Canada-based security firm,  earlier this year and get our hands on their superb “Deep Security” threat protection for Virtual servers.  More than just protection ahead of the patching cycle it offers excellent resource... read more
