Cloud Security With FedRAMP

Pete Silva — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:10:34 GMT

Want to provide Cloud services to the federal government? Then you’ll have to adhere to almost 170 security controls under the recently announced Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program. The program, set to go live in June, is designed to analyze/audit cloud computing providers for federal government agencies, expedite security clearances for cloud providers and foster the adoption of cloud computing by the Federal government. FedRAMP is meant to provide a baseline for low to moderate risk systems and is based on the NIST cyber-security Special Publication 800-53 Revision 3. FedRAMP provides an overall checklist for handling risks associated with Web services that would have a limited, or serious impact on government operations if disrupted. Cloud providers must implement these security controls to be authorized to provide cloud services to federal agencies. The government will forbid federal agencies from using a cloud service provider unless the vendor can prove that a FedRAMP-accredited third-party organization has verified and validated the security controls. Once approved, the cloud vendor would not need to be ‘re-evaluated’ by every government entity that might be interested in their solution. There may be instances where additional controls are added by agencies to address specific needs.

Independent, third-party auditors are tasked with testing each product/solution for compliance which is intended to save agencies from doing their own risk management assessment. Details of the auditing process are expected early next month but includes a System Security Plan that clarifies how the requirements of each security control will be met within a cloud computing environment. Within the plan, each control must detail the solutions being deployed such as devices, documents and processes; the responsibilities of providers and government customer to implement the plan; the timing of implementation; and how solution satisfies controls. A Security Assessment Plan details how each control implementation will be assessed and tested to ensure it meets the requirements and the Security Assessment Report explains the issues, findings, and recommendations from the security control assessments detailed in the security assessment plan. Ultimately, each provider must establish means of preventing unauthorized users from hacking the cloud service.

The regulations allow the contractor to determine which elements of the cloud must be backed up and how frequently. Three backups are required, one available online. All government information stored on a provider's servers must be encrypted. When the data is in transit, providers must use a "hardened or alarmed carrier protective distribution system," which detects intrusions, if not using encryption. Since cloud services may span many geographic areas with various people in the mix, providers must develop measures to guard their operations against supply chain threats. Also, vendors must disclose all the services they outsource and obtain the board's approval to contract out services in the future.

More details of the FedRAMP program will be available from the General Services Administration by February 8th, but they have already started accepting applications for third party assessment vendors.

Blog Roll 2011

Pete Silva — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:04:28 GMT

It’s that time of year when we gift and re-gift. And the perfect opportunity to re-post, re-purpose and re-use my 2011 blog entries. If you missed any of the approximately 50 blogs, 11 audio whitepapers or 47 videos, here they are wrapped in one simple entry. I read somewhere that lists in blogs are good.

Have a Safe and Happy New Year.

And a couple special holiday themed entries from years past.

Cloud Copyright, Capital and The Courts

Pete Silva — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:23:54 GMT

In 2006, Cablevision was developing a service which allowed customers to record, pause and replay their television content on/from servers located at Cablevision’s data center rather than on the customer’s Digital Video Recorder itself – in the cloud rather than on a local hard drive. A consortium of U.S. television and copyright holders challenged Cablevision in court arguing that Cablevision’s Remote Storage Digital Video Recorder (RS-DVR) infringed on copyrighted content laws in that, they were making copies of protected works and infringing on exclusive right of reproduction; briefly buffering/storing that content also infringes on exclusive reproduction rights; and by transmitting the data back to the customer, they were infringing on exclusive rights to public performance. In 2007, a district court found in favor of the copyright owner but in 2008, the decision was reversed by the Second Court of Appeals. The court clarified that Cablevision was not directly infringing copyright by offering a remote DVR service outside the customer’s home. Viewers could now record and save authorized TV content on a device within Cablevision’s infrastructure.

This ruling, according to Josh Lerner, Harvard Business School’s Professor of Investment Banking, had a huge impact on U.S. venture capital moving to cloud computing. A risk was removed. In Europe, where the ruling had no authority, the venture investments in the cloud were much less. This is an important economic topic and ruling due to the relationship between venture, innovation and job growth. The ruling might also be relevant in Australia where Optus is facing the same legal challenge today. They started a service in July called Optus TV Now that does essentially the same thing as Cablevision’s. Allowing customers to record and watch the 15 free-to-air stations that are available. Customers can watch the content directly or over their smartphone or computer via the internet. In their July announcement they even included, ‘it is a breach of copyright to make a copy of a broadcast other than to record it for your private and domestic use. Optus accepts no responsibility for copyright infringement.’ Well, the owners of the copyright material being stored and retrieved are saying breach, especially the AFL and NRL, the football and rugby leagues. Optus is saying it’s no different than people recording on a personal DVR at home. It’ll be interesting to follow this.

Back to the ‘funding the cloud’ story. Lerner’s study, 'The Impact of Copyright Policy Changes on Venture Capital Investment in Cloud Computing Companies,' he examines the impact and effect of the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision. The authors found that the decision led to additional incremental investment in U.S. cloud computing companies compared to Europe. Figure 1 of their paper:

The same growth did not occur in Europe and in some cases, these types of services have been blocked from even getting to market. Imagine how much different services from Amazon, Apple and Google would be if the court did not reverse the 2007 ruling.

F5 International Technology Center Video Tour

Pete Silva — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:49:02 GMT

I visited F5's International Technology Center in the heart of London and want to share an amazing tour with Shareef Qureshi, F5 Product Management Engineer. The facility includes a state of the art lab facility, executive briefing center, workroom facilities and an immersive TelePresence room. See the equipment, how it's managed and cooled, the meeting facilities and more. Only a month old, the F5 ITC showcases some of the latest data center technology. F5’s new London ITC will be the first Application Delivery & Data Solutions competency center in all of EMEA. Special thanks to Ross Draper for following us around.

Cloud Computing Making Waves

Pete Silva — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:27:50 GMT

Every once in a while, I’ll do a news search for ‘cloud computing.’ Yesterday was one of those days and while there are always a few stories about ‘the cloud,’ I was somewhat amazed by the number and range of topics that appeared. Also, the most recent issue (Oct 2011) of Consumer Reports had an article about ‘what’s the cloud.’ It was fairly elementary but for some reason when something is covered in Consumer Reports, I tend to think it’s finally reaching the masses. I’m glad they included, ‘Use caution when signing up for any cloud service. Make sure your information is well protected against cyber thieves. The company you're using should encrypt sensitive data and have state-of-the art privacy safeguards. And use strong passwords—a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols in a minimum of six characters’ Yes, we love encryption.

And to the search results.

With the economy still sputtering along, Forbes had an article talking about how Cloud Computing May be a Shot in the Arm our Economy Needs. On demand applications, pay-as-you-go and agility were common themes, as they have been for a couple years. The author talks about the fear of ‘hollow corporations,’ or those that do not produce and good or services but simply act as middle-men – brokers of services. However, these services are coming from the cloud, delivered via technology from the provider to the consumer. They are not really ‘hollow’ but what is called, ‘loosely coupled’ corporations. How a system or entity can do fine on it’s own, but when coupled with other systems, that’s when the fireworks fly. These providers would simply be the aggregation point of various third-party services which are made available to the consumer on-demand. He talks about how cloud computing can blur the lines between IT consumers and providers. How traditional non-IT companies, like online retailer Amazon, is also a cloud provider and how corporations could build their own private cloud and offer those services to partners and customers. He also looks into how Cloud can get a startup going very inexpensively; how small application shops can survive by selling their innovative software in app stores; and how ‘micro-outsourcing,’ not the entire bundle but pieces of IT resources are becoming more common. He really talks about the business angle rather than cloud technology.

When the cloud first started making headlines, there was a notion due to costs and even technical knowledge, that the cloud would be perfect for small businesses. While some SMB took advantage, the big growth came when large enterprises began tinkering with cloud services, albeit with small portions of their infrastructure. Over at SmallBusinessComputing.com, an article called Cloud Computing Tips for Small Business gives small businesses some areas of focus when looking into cloud services. Things like software management, data storage and IaaS as a potential area for investigation for those with equipment like servers that may be nearing end of life. Avoid that onsite upgrade, especially for storage. Security is certainly another area not only for small business but all companies that consider cloud. The cloud can give small businesses (and their customers) that round-the-clock feeling of a large enterprise. Of course, plan and budget wisely, according to the article.

We knew it was happening and CIO has an article about How Cloud Computing Is Changing Data Center Designs and Costs. Interesting look at how cloud computing is driving data center design. Formally, the cloud advantage relied on efficient use of current data center design patterns and now the cost basis of data centers is transforming by the creation of new data center designs focused on scale, efficiency and commodity components. They are becoming mass scale computing environments rather than raised floor cages housing individual company servers. Cost is a big topic of this article.

Of all the IT services that could benefit from cloud computing, email was always considered a great contender. Jumping on a Gartner report which says Gmail Now Credible Rival to Microsoft Exchange, a bunch of folks wrote about the implications of cloud email. While still only around 4% of the total enterprise email market, Gartner expects it to grow to 20% by 2016 and 55% market share by 2020. Still a way off and lots can happen but certainly a trend to follow. Financial institutions, who may require greater security and other features may not be so quick to adopt, but others are signing up rapidly. One way to transition is to have a hybrid of cloud and on-premise inboxes.

Public? Private? Oh, no…it’s Hybrid Cloud to the rescue. Yes Public is growing fast; yes, companies feel more comfortable with Private; but Hybrid might be the best of both worlds. The ability to balance workloads, move peak traffic, outsource less critical apps, adhere to SLAs and overall agility is making Hybrids very attractive to those looking to cloud computing.

On any given day a ‘cloud computing’ search can give varying results depending on the hot topics, this time it seemed to return a cornucopia of stories covering a wide section of topics. And now I’m caught up….until tomorrow.

VMworld 2011: VMworld Hands-On Lab

Pete Silva — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 23:45:51 GMT

We visit the VMworld Hands-on Lab, get a view of the Network Operations Center (NOC) and visit with Paul Pindell, F5 Sr. Solution Engineer, to get a 'backstage' view of how BIG-IP helps deliver the VM's to all the lab participants.

VMworld 2011: Multi-Site Application Deployment with vSphere & vCloud Director

Pete Silva — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 23:28:34 GMT

I get F5's Sr. Solution Architect, Charlie Cano, to whiteboard the solution for Multi-Site Application Deployment with vSphere & vCloud Director. See how applications can be packaged once and delivered from any data center and how Route Domains can solve static mapping challenges.
