Control virtual machines in the cloud with secure instance encryption and authentication.

In order to meet regulatory or internal risk management policies in virtualized infrastructures, it is crucial for organizations to go beyond simple user access controls and actively secure virtual services. This requires controlling privileged administrator access, guarding against potential unlimited copying, overcoming the lack of visibility and auditability, and mitigating the exposure of raw data.

With SafeNet ProtectV™Instance, enterprises can effectively leverage the benefits of cloud services, while retaining control and ensuring privacy of their sensitive data. ProtectV™Instance enables organizations to encrypt and secure entire contents of virtualized machine (VM) images, protecting these assets from theft or exposure. ProtectV™Instance is built on proven SafeNet technologies, while extending robust security capabilities to the new demands of cloud environments.

ProtectV™Instance addresses the key requirements needed to secure virtual instances:

• Data isolation. With ProtectV™Instance, security teams can logically separate virtual instances that hold sensitive data, so, for example, a cloud provider’s administrator can’t abuse their super-user privileges and a user with access to one instance can’t gain access to another group’s instances.
• Separation of duties. ProtectV™Instance enables security teams to require multiple administrators to conduct critical administrative tasks, for example, policy changes, key export, and more, to ensure that any one administrator can’t abuse his or her privileges.
• Cloud compliance. ProtectV™Instance offers the reporting, auditing, and logging capabilities that are key requirements for ensuring compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and many other regulatory mandates and security policies.
• Strong pre-launch access authentication. Featuring password-based protection at the user level, ProtectV™Instance enables authentication controls over which resources can be accessed, when, and by whom.
• Multi-tenant protection. With ProtectV™Instance’s comprehensive, robust capabilities, organizations can ensure that, even in shared, multi-tenant cloud environments, administrators gain the visibility and controls they need to safeguard sensitive assets.
