The classified information cloud for the public sector
SINA Cloud combines pioneering security mechanisms with open source technology (Kubernetes, OpenStack) to create a highly secure cloud stack that can also be operated on-premise.
Security-by-design:
Uncompromisingly secure,
flexibly scalable
The SINA Cloud combines a security layer with approved components and a cloud orchestration layer. The functional scope of this cloud can be flexibly expanded and updated without compromising VSA compliance. This architecture ensures unlimited functionality and scalability of the cloud stack and offers an architectural security advantage over subsequently hardened cloud platforms.
Performance-by-default:
Focus on operations
In addition to approval for classified information, SINA Cloud focuses on automated, easy-to-administer cloud operation. Modern cloud technology can be used confidently and securely on-premise, and the operating concept is highly standardized. Numerous resilience mechanisms ensure high availability and efficiency. YAOOK optimizes and automates the entire life cycle management of the cloud stack.
SINA:
Welcome to the CI ecosystem
SINA is the digital infrastructure developed in collaboration with the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for secure and efficient work with sensitive or classified information. The ecosystem includes secure clients (smartphones, laptops, desktops), applications and crypto gateways for customized security for authorities and administrations – from the classification level VS-NfD (RESTRICTED) to the highest level SECRET.
SINA Cloud extends this proven security architecture with a modern cloud platform. More information about the patented SINA technology.
Multi-tenant capability and resource efficiency
The core idea of the cloud is the virtualized and shared use of resources such as servers, networks and storage. The SINA Cloud enables the simple and scalable provision of virtual resources for the operation of cloud services. This architecture is ideal for operators who want to map multiple tenants on one infrastructure - without limiting the cloud services.
Authorisation & Compliance
Most of the security-critical components of the SINA Cloud that require approval have already received approval (authorization for use) from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for VS-NfD (classified information - RESTRICTED) and GEHEIM (classified information - SECRET). The final component is expected to be approved in the fourth quarter of 2024. The cloud experts at secunet and our subsidiary SysEleven are available for the planning and implementation of a VS-NfD and GEHEIM cloud, including the associated test runs, hardware planning, and conceptual work.
secunet has already successfully demonstrated that it can implement German Authorisation & Compliance for Classified Information with a cloud product solution. It plays a leading role in the R-VSK federal measure of the German Federal Foreign Office's IT abroad. secuview article with Dr. Egedy
