Consona Cloud Security

There are several types of cloud deployments, including public, private and hybrid. The Consona Cloud leverages a private cloud for disaster recovery and system monitoring purposes, but essentially offers its software solutions as a service on a public cloud. Technically, this setup makes the Consona Cloud a hybrid cloud.

We understand that there are may be some concerns around deploying in a public cloud, but at a high level, we believe the Amazon infrastructure and platform is inherently more secure than any internal on-premise deployment. The sheer scale of Amazon allows the company to implement a higher level of security than any one internal IT organization. What’s more, Amazon’s security is free from grassroots IT policies that are built around internal assumptions because it presumes that all internal and external users are potentially a threat.

Despite our confidence in Amazon’s security, we have taken further—and some would deem even unnecessary—precautions to ensure your system and data security on our cloud. Examples of these measures include:

• Staffed controlled personnel to leverage multi-factor authentication to the server across three levels of authentication.
• Added layers of intrusion monitoring beyond Amazon standard.
• Additional antivirus tools.
• Added 128 bit Triple DES authentication.
• Built encryption between server infrastructures.
• Added encryption to database, logs and configuration files.
• Created restrictions around only opening ports that are highly monitored.
• Leveraged Amazon’s SAS 70 Type 2 compliance.
