Encryption

Data security and compliance issues need to be addressed to ensure sensitive data is safe in the cloud. Discover the cloud security challenges posed by Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environments and explore how encryption, policies, separation of duties and key management successfully protect data at rest.

Enterprise key management is a critical issue for IT organizations that is compounded by the proliferation of encryption keys from discrete encryption point solutions and transparent database encryption (TDE) technologies. Learn how to control encryption keys and policies on an enterprise scale while reducing administration costs and security risks.

In this special education supplement, SC Magazine examines the importance of specialized classes and certifications versus work experience, while a case study profiles how a public school system in New Jersey fulfilled a need to expand its broadband capacity and, at the same time, brought increased security to its network operations. Additionally, for the fourth year, we ask some of the universities designated by the NSA and DHS as Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance about their programs.

A key technical underpinning of the Cloud is the Application Programming Interface (API). APIs provide consistent methods for outside entities such as web services clients and desktop applications to interface with services in the Cloud. More and more, it will be through APIs that cloud data moves; however, the security and scalability of APIs are currently threatened by a problem called the password anti-pattern - the need for one API to collect and replay the password for a user at another API in order to access information on behalf of that user. OAuth defeats the password anti-pattern, creating a consistent, flexible identity and policy architecture for web applications, web services, devices, and desktop clients attempting tocommunicate with Cloud APIs.

There's a difference between cyber attacks and cyber espionage. The purpose of cyber crimes, designed to obtain credit card, bank data or intellectual property, is financial gain. Cyber espionage, meanwhile, is performed for political purposes and is calculated to disable critical infrastructure. Though evidence is at best circumstantial, major powers like China, the United States and Russia are all said to active in the cyber spying arena. While security appliances and services are available to thwart intrusions, there remains the human element, a disgruntled insider hurt by the financial downturn, tempted by easy gain to transfer enterprise data to gray market operators who could be anywhere in the world. It's all about managing risk, experts say, and a layered approach to security - one that includes both perimeter and internal defenses - is necessary, whether for a company or a country.
