In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, a secure cloud platform is essential. Your cloud infrastructure is the backbone of your business, housing sensitive data, applications, and services. As cyber threats grow in complexity, the risks of data breaches, unauthorised access, and other security vulnerabilities increase. Ensuring the security of your cloud environment is vital for protecting your assets and mitigating risks.
Brightsolid Cloud is hosted in our Tier III-designed secure data centres in Aberdeen and Dundee, offering full data sovereignty and giving you complete control over where your critical assets reside. Security is embedded into the core of our platform, with Brightsolid’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) actively involved at every stage of its design. Our team conducts comprehensive risk assessments and threat modelling to identify and mitigate potential risks.
Here are your top four security benefits of Brightsolid Cloud:
1. Hardware-Level Protection with HPE Silicon Root of Trust
Our platform is built on HPE servers with Silicon Root of Trust, a firmware technology that integrates security directly at the hardware level. This creates an immutable fingerprint within the silicon, providing advanced protection against firmware attacks. If any unauthorised changes are detected, the system automatically disables the compromised server, preventing malicious code from infiltrating your infrastructure and enabling a swift recovery.
2. Advanced Firewall Protection and Network Security
For cloud security, we rely on VMware’s industry-leading platform, vCloud Director, powered by vCenter and NSX-T. This technology enhances your cloud’s defences with robust security features, including Layer 4 and Layer 7 distributed firewalls. These firewalls allow you to enforce granular security controls, isolate workloads, and significantly reduce your attack surface.
The result? A more secure cloud environment that minimises the impact of potential security breaches.
3. Micro-Segmentation to Prevent Lateral Threat Movement
Micro-segmentation within Brightsolid Cloud is a powerful security strategy that prevents the lateral movement of threats. By segmenting your network into smaller, more manageable sections and applying strict security controls to each, we enhance your overall security posture.
Through VMware’s NSX-T, we establish clear security boundaries within your cloud environment, making it significantly harder for attackers to move laterally. Even if a breach occurs, the attacker’s ability to spread is restricted, helping contain threats before they escalate.
4. End-to-End Data Protection and Compliance
Brightsolid Cloud safeguards your data at rest, in transit, and in use.
- Data at Rest: Encrypted using AES-256, ensuring robust protection.
- Data in Transit: Secured via TLS 1.3, preventing unauthorised interception.
- Data Backups: By default, data is replicated and backed up between data centres, with multiple recovery points tailored to your needs.
For an added layer of protection, Brightsolid offers immutable backups through its Backup as a Service (optional), which secures your backups within a protected public cloud environment.
Our Security Operations Centre (SOC) continuously monitors the Brightsolid Cloud platform, with experienced security analysts and engineers providing 24/7 threat detection and response. Our team conducts regular vulnerability scans to identify and remediate emerging threats.
Additionally, Brightsolid offers an optional Managed Vulnerability Scanning service, which monitors your specific environment for vulnerabilities across networks, applications, and operating systems.
With cyber threats on the rise, cloud security is no longer optional. Brightsolid Cloud provides robust, comprehensive protection without unnecessary complexity, ensuring your data remains secure, compliant, and fully under your control.
