Security
New technologies don’t
redefine security practices, they refine them.
ReliaCloud integrates physical and electronic security practices to
deliver a transparent and inclusive control model that protects your
information and ensures its availability, confidentiality and integrity.
ReliaCloud security controls
enable:
Scaling—ReliaCloud can
deliver security capabilities more cost-effectively due to our scale as a
hosted and managed services provider
- An inclusive set of
security controls can be expensive to implement and maintain as well as time
consuming, especially when an organization is faced with compliance obligations.
- ReliaCloud can
leverage the scale associated with providing services to multiple customers to
keep costs low and deliver security capabilities quickly based on need.
Simplification—ReliaCloud provides
centralization of security practices, both for integration across disparate
vendor solutions and through our managed security services provider partnership
with AlertLogic
- Best of breed
controls often lead to a disparate set of technology vendors since no single
vendor can deliver everything a customer needs; ultimately, the customer is
left with multiple systems where oversight and operational responsibilities
reside.
- ReliaCloud simplifies
the complexities associated with deploying all of the technologies needed to
provide a robust control framework enabling you to focus on running your
business.
Expertise—ReliaCloud consolidates
knowledge and expertise from numerous disciplines including: facilities and
data center operations, network administration, system administration, security,
and compliance by maintaining our most valuable asset—people
- Technology operations
and security are incredibly complex, constantly evolving fields that require a
relentless commitment to learning in order to stay abreast of the latest issues.
- ReliaCloud serves as
an aggregation point for professionals by attracting, recruiting and retaining
top talent that can cover the gamut of responsibilities a customer needs.
Security as a Foundation
The Cloud Security Alliance notes that, “the lower down the stack the
Cloud provider stops, the more security the consumer is tactically responsible
for implementing and managing.” Many
cloud offerings, including traditional Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud
providers, focus on a few technical security controls and leave security to the
customer. ReliaCloud is different. ReliaCloud’s nine-pillared, inclusive control
model covers administrative, physical, and technical controls that serve as a
foundation for information assurance (Illustration 1).
ReliaCloud employs a combination of standard security controls as well
as optional, advanced capabilities that can be added as needed to suit your
unique security requirements. ReliaCloud
is based on delivering the best combination of controls needed to guarantee oversight
of our operations.
