Private Cloud Virtual Servers - security you can rely on

Private Cloud Virtual Servers multi-layered security ensures that virtual servers are as secure as possible without sacrificing the flexibility in configuration that customers demand.

Integrated network security

Our private cloud infrastructure provides significant protection against traditional network security issues. All solutions include protection against:

Distributed Denial of Service (DDos) attacks.
Man in the Middle (MITM) attacks.
IP Spoofing.
Port Scanning.
Packet sniffing by other tenants.

FIREWALL

We provide a complete firewall solution; this mandatory inbound firewall is configured in a default deny mode and customers must explicitly open all ports needed to allow inbound traffic.

The traffic may be restricted by protocol, by service port, as well as by source IP address (individual IP or Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block).

Host operating system

All administrative systems are specifically designed, built, configured, and hardened to protect the management plane of the cloud:

All access is logged and audited.
When an employee no longer has a business need to access the management plane, the privileges and access to these hosts and relevant systems are revoked.

INSTANCE ISOLATION

Different instances running on the same physical machine are isolated from each other via the hypervisor.

In addition, the firewall resides within the hypervisor layer, between the physical network interface and the instance's virtual interface. All packets must pass through this layer, thus an instance's neighbours have no more access to that instance than any other host on the Internet and can be treated as if they are on separate physical hosts.

Guest operating system

Virtual instances are completely controlled by the customer who has full root access or administrative control over accounts and applications.

Our systems do not have any access to customer instances and cannot log into the guest operating system.

Privilege Escalation

Customers should employ a privilege escalation mechanism with logging on a per-user basis.

Customers should generate their own key pairs in order to guarantee that they are unique, and not shared with other customers.
