Cloud Security | Security in the Cloud

Security is Our Core Philosophy

Security is of prime importance at dinCloud. We immediately recognized the need for more security in the Cloud, as public, multi-tenant clouds do not typically offer a level of security appropriate for mission critical business data. Thus, dinCloud takes added security measures and has established multiple lines of defense to protect clients’ digital assets.

Physical Security

dinCloud data centers are always equipped with 24x7x365 security guards, dvr cameras, a biometric hand scan for outside entry, mantraps for internal entry, protected access to dinCloud infrastructure and special digital locks with separate codes per cabinet for front/back access. All access points to our data centers have audit logs and comply with SSAE16 (formerly SAS70 Type II) auditing standards.
In fact, dinCloud data centers have been awarded SSAE16 Compliance, ISO and LEED certifications.

Network Security

We use dedicated virtual appliances for firewalls, load balancers and wan optimizers to address potential security gaps. We also offer network level anti-virus, spam, and malware and IPS controls. Multi-factor authentication is utilized for remote access to each virtual data center. AES 256-bit encryption is used for all VPN peer-to-peer and remote access. For added security for peer-to-peer circuits, we connect to their virtual private data centers.

Server/desktop level Security

We provide a multi-customer environment that isolates access to the infrastructure. This helps each customer meet individual security, licensing and other requirements. Every layer of isolation heightens network security. We also provide anti-virus, spam, malware protection to desktops.

Storage Security

We offer dedicated network connectivity for storage streams, virtualized storage controls per customer, upon request, or entire dedicated storage arrays. Data at rest may be encrypted at the drive level, as well as at the server level. Migration to the Cloud has never been easier, as we support NetApp and SnapMirror replication and can leverage the Cloud for disaster recovery (“DR”), migration and archival use.
