Cloud Security

As Software Defined Networking is the digital flavour of the moment, companies now have the unenviable task of trying to determine what is right for them. Questions about the Cloud deployment model and whether they should build Applications on Premise or Off-Premise, and Hybrid or Multi-Cloud strategy are just the tip of the iceberg, especially when considering aspects of Virtualisation, Services, Automation, Orchestration and Security.  

There are the many requirements from business to IT departments, which are often at competing and conflicting positions. CTEC Solutions can help guide your organisation in being successful with a Secure Cloud Architecture with longevity and protection from unwanted malicious Cyber activity. 

Cyber attack elements such as: 

• Man-in-the-middle 
• DoS or DDoS  
• BUM flooding 
• Routing protocol  
• TCP SYN floods 
• Worms, Trojans and Viruses 
• Data insertion and loss 
• Spoofing and Phishing 
• Application targeted attacks 

Even for smaller companies, wishing to migrate from an off-prem to purely Public Cloud solution there are many complexities. From a Security perspective, if due diligence and planning are not conducted in the right way, can really leave the environment wide open to malicious intrusion. Even if moving to a green-field deployment there are still many things to consider. By utilising the experts, CTEC Solutions, you can rest assured that whether in private Cloud, in transition to, or actually within Public Cloud that your information is Secure. 

Public Cloud services typically given via the acronym XaaS, for Something-as-a-Service. The most common elements in recognition of Public Cloud providers are the IaaS or Infrastructure-as-a-Service, PaaS or Platform-as-a-Service and SaaS or Software-as-a-Service. Each one of these has its benefits and associated security implications with adoption. 

Security considerations for Cloud: 

• Deployment and service model adoption 
• Provider Security vs Cloud service Security 
• Deployment and service model demarcation 
• Compliance to Security standards and policies 
• Integration of Security and Network components 
• Layered Security and NFP 
• Domains and zones 
• Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability 
• Multi-tenancy 

CTEC Solutions will provide a holistic approach to the Security design, where we will work to achieve a self-healing secure Network Infrastructure. One that can mitigate risk through Information Security and operate to acceptable levels should the worst case Cyber attack take place.
