Access and Authentication Controls

• Employs role-based management to help ensure proper separation of duties
• Automates key release and virtual machine authorization for rapid operations or requires manual approval for increased security  
• Delivers keys via SSL encrypted Internet channels

Policy-driven Key Management

Common Use Cases

1. How do customers control and protect their data in the cloud from being viewed, stolen or manipulated by others I share the cloud with or by the service providers staff.  How can I protect against this?
2. Cloud volumes are mobile.  Snapshots are taken frequently, backups are made regularly and information is shared across multiple data centers to make it highly available.
   • Questions that plague Cloud user like; where my data is at any given time or how much of it is out there, or could I be out of compliance with data privacy laws if my data is moved to data centers outside of my country?
3. If a cloud provider supplies encryption they still have access to the encryption keys. Clear separation of duties should be employed to protect Cloud tenants’ sensitive information from the cloud provider.
4. I moved my information back in-house / my project is done / I’m switching cloud vendors.  How can I be sure that my old data is overwritten and won’t be viewable to the next cloud customer using that storage?
5. I want to control the precise identity of servers accessing my data and control the time and location in which they access information.
