Best Practice cloud compliance

  • The new 25-point plan establishes a Data Center Consolidation Task Force with a goal of reducing the number of data centers by 800 as of 2015.
  • The plan also touts scalability as a reason for embracing the cloud over traditional solutions. It cited the example of a private-sector company doing video editing that experienced a surge of demand and was able, using the cloud, to scale from 50 to 4,000 virtual machines in three days.
  • There's an expectation that moving applications such as e-mail to the cloud will facilitate data center consolidation and reduce IT budgets. Some federal agencies have already awarded contracts to move e-mail to the cloud. In addition, the government has selected a dozen vendors to supply Infrastructure-as-a-Service (Iaas).

  • Google and Microsoft want the government’s cloud business and they’ve undertaken a PR campaign including announcements of high-profile contract awards. The General Services Administration (GSA) recently awarded Unisys and Google a contract to host e-mail in the cloud. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) selected Dell to supply Microsoft Online Services for the migration of 120,000 users and 21 e-mail systems to the cloud.
  • Microsoft was the winner of a Department of the Interior contract for moving e-mail to the cloud, a selection that Google protested. Google and its reseller, Onix Networking Corp, have filed suit against the Department of the Interior to overturn that selection.
  • Both Google Apps for Government and BPOS have been certified as being compliant with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). Being given FISMA Authority to Operate (ATO) is a certification the cloud infrastructure is a secure, trusted environment for government applications and databases they use.
  • The federal contracts for hosting e-mail in the cloud are not the first Big Government embrace of hosted e-mail. Microsoft reportedly has several hundred state and local agencies using its cloud services. New York City recently announced it will adopt Microsoft BPOS for 30,000 city users.
  • The State of California awarded a contract to Microsoft and Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) for the migration of 130 of e-mail systems to Microsoft BPOS.
  • The State of Minnesota Office of Enterprise Technology (OET) announced an agreement with Microsoft to migrate Exchange e-mail and other communications services to BPOS in a private cloud.

    "In December 2010, the government's CIO, Vivek Kundra, released a 25-point plan for an overhaul of Federal IT that emphasizes a cloud-first policy for federal agencies. Currently the federal government is on pace to spend $79 billion on IT this year, with more than 20% going to infrastructure spending. Because the US government has spent $600 billion on IT over the past decade, the plan's intent is to reduce IT spending by the federal government."

  • To address these new challenges, the report said, enterprises need to shape their risk exposure, communication, end-user education and technology in a delicate balance.
  • One of the newest vectors of attack – the so-called “bring your own device” approach – has sprung up from the burgeoning market for smartphones and tablets and their adaption into the enterprise network, the report said. Security issues seen on the mobile platform are rising with the market – with double the number of mobile exploit releases that were seen in 2010.
  • Third-party app markets, a Wild West of often unregulated offerings, are the primary bazaar for malicious software created to attack mobile phones.

  • Infected mobile applications can also come from peer-to-peer networks hosted on websites
  • This year's breaches have highlighted the emerging risk of “whaling,” a variant of spear phishing that targets "big fish,” or high-level personnel
  • Of further concern for IT security professionals is the rise of professional teams charged with collecting intellectual property and strategic intelligence, the report found.
  • In addition, so-called hacktivist groups, such as LulzSec and Anonymous, have used well-worn attack techniques, such as SQL injection, to successfully target websites and computer networks for political ends rather than financial gain.

    A new service-based solution set now available from major players in the payments processing industry addresses many merchant concerns. End-to-end encryption (E2EE) combined with data tokenization provides enhanced security by protecting sensitive cardholder data from the point of capture through delivery to the payment processor, and by eliminating cardholder data from the merchant's environment post-authorization. With these two technologies in place, the data handled by a merchant is far less vulnerable in the event of a breach, simply because encrypted or tokenized data is useless to a thief.
