Trusted cloud infrastructures for CRITIS

Trusted cloud infrastructures for CRITIS

Many companies are increasingly turning to cloud technologies and cloud services – whether to reduce costs or to compensate for the lack of expertise and staff in IT operations. Another common reason is that on-premise solutions of the classic type are ageing and being updated less frequently.

Critical infrastructures (CRITIS) and other organisations with particularly high demands on the trustworthiness of digital infrastructures represent an area that is still hesitant in this regard. Even they aim to benefit from the undeniable advantages of the cloud. However, this can only be achieved if legitimate concerns about IT security, local high availability and digital sovereignty are first addressed.

secunet offers solutions based on SecuStack for the use of cloud technology – especially in sovereign areas, critical infrastructures and organisations requiring or expecting a high level of trustworthiness. SecuStack adds cryptographic client separation, end-to-end encrypted data processing, transmission and storage, highly secure and authorised terminal devices, the use of keys under own control and other features to cloud-based technologies and combines them into an overall solution ready for operation.

CRITIS companies and other operators operate their cloud infrastructures with SecuStack as a private cloud within their own data centre or at audited external data centres – even as a managed service. secunet not only supplies suitable hardware and software but, if necessary, even establishes contact with trustworthy service providers.
