Business Wire
As part of its overall strategy to help customers and partners
build public and private clouds that are open and interoperable,
Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) today unveiled innovative
open source cloud security capabilities and announced support for
the latest Security Guidance from the Cloud Security Alliance. For
more information on Sun's Cloud Security initiatives, visit
www.sun.com/cloud/security.
Sun is steadfast in its commitment to providing best practices
and technologies that help users safeguard their critical data in
the enterprise and in the cloud. The introduction of Sun's Cloud
Security architectural building blocks will help deliver
enterprise-grade cloud services that are highly secure, available
and easily manageable when used in public, private or hybrid cloud
environments. Leveraging the built-in security capabilities of
Sun's Solaris Operating Systems, including Solaris(TM) ZFS and
Solaris Containers, the security tools help in securing data in
transit, data at rest, and data in use in the cloud, and work with
cloud offerings from leading vendors including Amazon and
Eucalyptus.
Along with introducing new security tools today, Sun also
announced support for the Cloud Security Alliance's “Guidance for
Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing – Version 2.1.” Sun
privacy and security experts have been instrumental in the
industry-wide effort to develop the security guidance and have been
active participants in the Cloud Security Alliance since its
inception. The new framework provides more concise and actionable
guidance for secure adoption of cloud computing, and encompasses
knowledge gained from real world deployments. For more information,
visit www.cloudsecurityalliance.org/guidance.
“Sun's technologies, best practices and work with leading
industry organizations like the Cloud Security Alliance help
provide our customers and partners with a framework for securing
data in cloud environments,” said Lew Tucker, CTO, Cloud Computing,
Sun Microsystems.
Sun also published a new white paper, “Building Customer Trust
in Cloud Computing with Transparent Security,” that provides an
overview of transparent security and the ways in which intelligent
disclosure of security design, practices and procedures can help
improve customer confidence while protecting critical security
features and data, improving overall governance. To download the
paper, visit www.sun.com/offers/details/sun_transparency.xml.
“Security remains one of the major concerns for enterprise
customers moving to the cloud,” said Glenn Brunette, Distinguished
Engineer and Chief Security Architect, Sun Microsystems. “Sun's new
security tools will help address several of these fundamental
issues and enable customers to realize the benefits of cloud
computing while also managing risk and safeguarding critical
assets.”
Sun today announced availability for several open source Cloud
Security tools including:
-- OpenSolaris VPC Gateway: Provides
customers with greater choice and flexibility when connecting their
systems to the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. The OpenSolaris VPC
Gateway software enables customers to quickly and easily create a
redundant, secure communications channel to a Virtual Private Cloud
without the need for proprietary networking equipment. To download
the OpenSolaris VPC Gateway tool, visit http://kenai.com/projects/osolvpc/pages/Home.
-- Immutable Service Containers (ISC):
Delivers architectural patterns with associated deployment
strategies that collectively define a highly secure foundation for
service delivery. Incorporating many of the security features of
the OpenSolaris Operating System, including Solaris ZFS, Solaris
Containers, and Solaris IP Filter and Auditing, the ISC
architecture leverages service compartmentalization and improved
integration techniques to create virtual machines with
significantly improved security protection and monitoring
capabilities. To download the ISC software or pre-built images,
visit http://kenai.com/projects/isc/pages/OpenSolaris.
-- Security Enhanced Virtual Machine
Images (VMIs): Using many of the techniques developed for the
Immutable Service Container project, Sun created several
security-enhanced VMIs for the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
These virtual machines leverage industry accepted recommended
practices including non-executable stacks, encrypted swap and
auditing enabled by default. Beyond simple OpenSolaris images, Sun
has also published integrated software stacks such as Solaris AMP
and Drupal built on these security-enhanced images. To download the
VMIs, visit www.sun.com/cloud/security.
-- Cloud Safety Box: Simplifies managing
encrypted content in the Cloud. Using a simple Amazon S3-like
interface, the Cloud Safety Box automates the compression,
encryption and splitting of content being stored in the cloud on
any supported operating system including Solaris, OpenSolaris,
Linux and Mac OS X. To download the Cloud Safety Box, visit
http://kenai.com/projects/s3-crypto/pages/Home.
Sun is working with its customers and partners worldwide to
build and deploy public and private clouds that are open and
interoperable. The Sun Open Cloud Platform, powered by Sun's
industry-leading software, hardware and storage, delivers
cost-effective, scalable cloud infrastructure. For more information
