How Cysi Cloud tackles security concerns

With increasing attention on the security of hyperscalers, recent news highlights the need for cloud providers to strengthen their security measures. At Cyso Cloud, we understand the critical importance of data security, particularly for businesses in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and government. We have built our platform with robust security protocols and stringent measures to ensure that our customers’ data is protected. In this blog post, we’ll outline the key security measures we take across our infrastructure to ensure the highest levels of data protection, compliance, and operational continuity.

Data Centers: Fortified Security from the ground up

Cyso Cloud operates using state-of-the-art data centres that prioritise physical security, ensuring that data is protected both physically and digitally. Our data centres are equipped with 24/7/365 surveillance, monitored by security guards and camera systems. Intrusion detection systems and strict access controls prevent unauthorised personnel from gaining entry, with all individuals needing authorisation lists, access cards, and secure ports for entry.

Our data centres are certified with top-tier certifications, including ISO 9001, ISO 27001, OHSAS 18001, PCI-DSS, and ISO 14001, ensuring compliance with industry-leading security, quality, and environmental standards.

Security-Driven Designed IaaS Platform

At the heart of Cyso Cloud is our Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform, which is built with critical security and operational redundancies. All mission-critical components of the platform are designed with N+1 redundancy, ensuring that services remain available even in the event of component failure.

Our Anti-DDoS infrastructure protects the network and critical infrastructure from distributed denial-of-service attacks, ensuring the smooth running of operations. Additionally, logical access to the platform is controlled through strict password policies, VPN keys, and access lists, with logging and detection systems in place to monitor for unauthorised changes. Firewalls are implemented across all servers, ensuring network segmentation through VLANs.

Cyso Cloud also regularly updates firmware and operating systems to mitigate security risks and prevent data leaks. Active monitoring of the platform’s critical components allows us to identify and respond to potential issues before they impact our customers’ services.

People and Processes

Security is embedded within the fabric of Cyso Cloud’s organisation. We are certified with ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 standards across all our services, ensuring compliance with the strictest security protocols. Every employee and third party involved with Cyso Cloud undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including the submission of a certificate of good conduct.

Our internal team includes a dedicated security officer who oversees our security processes, and all staff undergo regular security awareness training to stay informed of the latest threats and best practices.

Additional services for enhanced protection

Cyso Cloud offers additional services designed to give our customers greater security and peace of mind. These include our Anti-DDoS service, which allows customers to protect their servers and applications from malicious attacks. We also offer redundant storage (N+2) and Availability Zones, which allow for the redundant execution of services across multiple logical compute groups.

Our Security Groups act as virtual firewalls for instances and other resources within virtual networks, offering an additional layer of protection to our customers’ environments. By default, all instances are only accessible via asymmetric cryptography and Secure Shell (SSH). These settings provide robust security for all instances, with options to adjust access control settings based on specific needs.
