Cloud Security IBM Point of View

3 3

2012 IBM Corporation

Security is a top concern in cloud adoption


There is universal interest in cloud computing across all industries and geographies

Cost Take-out is Key Driver

#1 reason to move to a public cloud is lower total cost of ownership Top reasons for moving to a private cloud include cost/resource efficiencies, as well as enhancing speed and flexibility Security concerns are the top barrier to adoption of both public and private clouds Experience managing large outsourcing engagements gives IBM the tools to manage customers top cloud concerns Three distinctive end-user cloud buying patterns are emerging: exploratory, solution-focused and transformational There are reports that public clouds are being adopted faster than originally forecast

Security is Top Concern

Adoption Patterns are Emerging

Cloud computing tests the limits of security operations and infrastructure

Security and Privacy Domains


People and Identity Data and Information Application and Process Network, Server and Endpoint Physical Infrastructure Governance, Risk and Compliance

To cloud Self-Service Highly Virtualized Location Independence Workload Automation Rapid Elasticity Standardization
Multiple Logins, Onboarding Issues Multi-tenancy, Data Separation External Facing, Quick Provisioning Virtualization, Network Isolation Provider Controlled, Lack of Visibility Audit Silos, Compliance Controls

In a cloud environment, access expands, responsibilities change, control shifts, and the speed of provisioning resources and applications increases greatly affecting all aspects of IT security.

2012 IBM Corporation

Different cloud deployment models also change the way we think about security

Private cloud
On or off premises cloud infrastructure operated solely for an organization and managed by the organization or a third party

Hybrid IT
Traditional IT and clouds (public and/or private) that remain separate but are bound together by technology that enables data and application portability

Public cloud
Available to the general public or a large industry group and owned by an organization selling cloud services.

Changes in Security and Privacy


- Customer responsibility for infrastructure

Provider responsibility for infrastructure Less customization of security controls No visibility into day-to-day operations Difficult to access to logs and policies Applications and data are publically exposed
2012 IBM Corporation

More customization of security controls Good visibility into day-to-day operations Easy to access to logs and policies Applications and data remain inside the firewall

Resultant client security requirements vary, depending on cloud model that a client adopts

IBM Point of View - Cloud can be made secure for business

As with most new technology paradigms, security concerns surrounding cloud computing have become the most widely talked about inhibitor of widespread usage. To gain the trust of organizations, cloud services must deliver security and privacy expectations that meet or exceed what is available in traditional IT environments. The same way transformational technologies of the past overcame concerns PCs, outsourcing, the Internet.

Cloud Security Method & Solution Approach

9 9

2012 IBM Corporation

Minimizing the risks of cloud computing requires a strategic approach


Define a cloud strategy with security in mind Identify the different workloads and how they need to interact. Which models are appropriate based on their security and trust requirements and the systems they need to interface to? Identify the security measures needed Using a methodology such as the IBM Security Framework allows teams to measure what is needed in areas such as governance, architecture, applications and assurance. Enabling security for the cloud Define the upfront set of assurance measures that must be taken. Assess that the applications, infrastructure and other elements meet the security requirements, as well as operational security measures.

The IBM Cloud Security Foundation Controls provide a model for categorizing cloud security controls

29

2012 IBM Corporation

Foundation Control 1: Cloud Governance


Cloud Governance: Cloud specific security governance including regional and industry support

Controls and IT Processes Policies for controlling the movement of tenant workloads between data-centers, countries or geographical regions Policies governing access to tenant workloads by third parties such as cloud service support vendors Governance of which cloud service providers (private and public) are used and under which conditions, e.g. based on the classification of data in the workload.

Examples SmartCloud Enterprise (SCE) and Enterprise+ (SCE+) provide multiple points of delivery globally. Customers choose the data center(s) in which to run their workloads. IBM does not move a customers workloads between data centers. SCE+ Cloud ISeC and technical specifications govern security policy above the hypervisor. Many customers are making use of public clouds at the line of business level, with the IT Security team lacking visibility.

30

2012 IBM Corporation

Foundation Control 2: Security Governance, Risk Management and Compliance


Security Governance, Risk Management & Compliance including maintaining security policy and audit & compliance
Controls and IT Processes Necessary policy controls documented. Control mechanisms identified. Appropriate testing of controls. Internal review of operation of the control Inspection of the controls by internal and external parties Reporting on controls Executive and external notification of noncompliance Capture and reporting on risk management status Auditing cloud service provider and tenant activities Providing tenants with visibility of security policies and audit events related to their tenancy, but not those relating to other tenants
31

Examples Demonstration of good security governance through achieving industry certifications such as SSAE16 and ISO 27001, or regulatory regimes such as PCI-DSS. SCE has achieved ISO27001 compliance In SCE+, all security issues and exceptions are tracked using existing IBM tools. In SCE+, security data from sources such as health-check roll-up into existing organizational tooling for reporting and metrics.

2012 IBM Corporation

Foundation Control 3: Problem and Information Security incident management


Problem & Information Security Incident Management Management and responding to expected / unexpected events
Controls and IT Processes Problems documented and managed according to severity Logging maintained on critical systems Log retention period and periodic log reviews Identification and alerting of incidents Processes for response and reporting of incidents Examples SCE forwards all logs from critical systems to a central log repository. In a private cloud environment integration with existing logging and monitoring infra structure must be evaluated A public cloud service providers security incident management processes need to plan for the potential cybersecurity implications of having unmanaged workloads running on their cloud

32

2012 IBM Corporation

Foundation Control 4: Identity and Access Management


Identity and Access Management Strong focus on authentication of users and management of identity
Controls and IT Processes Initial identity verification, federated identity management Complexity rules, expiration period, password reuse User roles defined with access entitlements System access granted, periodically reviewed, and revoked based on business need Access is logged, accountability maintained Identify and resolve separation of duties conflicts Strong authentication and encryption of remote administration Monitor privileged access
33

Examples An organization consuming public cloud services, e.g. SaaS integrates their onpremise identity system with the SaaS identity system using federated identity management SCE leverages ibm.coms Web Identity service for portal authentication. Access to a clouds managing environment (physical) may require strong authentication, e.g. certificate or token.

2012 IBM Corporation

Foundation Control 5: Data classification and protection


Discover, Categorize, Protect Data & Information Assets Strong focus on protection of data at rest or in transit
Controls and IT Processes
Encrypt confidential and business critical data at rest, e.g. at application level or storage system level Encrypt confidential and business critical data in motion Management and protection for keys and certificates Managed backups implemented, encrypted and physically secured Inventory, periodic reconciliation, tracking of movement Expiration and data destruction; virtual system decommissioning Policies and logs regularly reviewed Isolation of tenant-specific data at rest from other tenants, e.g. discretionary access control (DAC) Policy based control of access to data at rest within a tenant, e.g. allowing sharing or otherwise as required Isolation of tenant-specific workloads from other tenants through network isolation Protection of tenant data from cloud service provider administrators
34

Examples Data encryption at rest can be achieved from within guest VMs, or through integration with the cloud storage infrastructure Private cloud may reduce data protection concerns but doesnt eliminate them. For example, isolating workloads and data from different business units to support conflict of interest or ethical wall objectives.

2012 IBM Corporation

Foundation Control 6: Systems Acquisition and Maintenance


Information Systems Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance management of application /virtual Machine
Examples SCE+ provides a managed process for ensuring the security and compliance of instances after they are provisioned and before they are handed over to the cloud consumer. SCE and SCE+ periodically update images to ensure they include recent security patches and updates.

Controls and IT Processes Documented deployment process Change control processes Administrative control and limits Vulnerability scanning Image hibernation and reactivation

35

2012 IBM Corporation

Foundation Control 7: Infrastructure protection


Secure Infrastructure Against Threats and Vulnerabilities Management of vulnerabilities and their associated mitigations with strong focus on network and endpoint protection
Controls and IT Processes Well defined policy defined with required controls Encrypt confidential and business critical data Intrusion detection/prevention at network, host and hypervisor levels Vulnerability detection and remediation Examples SCE implements an IPS which checks both for inbound attacks against infrastructure and instances and for outbound attacks to proactively identify compromised instances SCE provides an optional VPN / VLAN service for secure access SCE/SCE+ managing infrastructure is routinely vulnerability scanned

36

2012 IBM Corporation

Foundation Control 8: Physical and Personnel Security


Physical and Personnel Security Protection for physical assets and locations, as well as employee security
Controls and IT Processes Access granted, reviewed, and revoked Physical barriers, doors alarmed, and alarms tested Network cabling and infrastructure secured and caged Visitors escorted and logged, logs securely retained Personnel security background checks and ongoing monitoring Privileged access / reviewing personnel
37

Examples SCE and SCE+ leverage IBMs existing rigorous data-center physical security processes Private clouds will integrate with a customers existing procedures in this control category. All IBM personnel undergo background checks prior to being hired. IBM employees certify against IBM Business Conduct Guidelines on a yearly basis.

Security Hardening of PaaS for Public Cloud


Public cloud hosted service instances and application workload instances need to have their security hardened for public cloud use
Though security is very important for private cloud as well, public cloud security requirements are much more stringent Public cloud instances are exposed to the internet and raise concerns of break-ins, denial of service attacks and privacy compromises

The following are some examples of the security hardening requirements for public hosted multi-tenant services
No sharing of a service instance VM or an application workload instance VM between customers SSH keys stored in the VMs are encrypted, and encryption keys are stored in a vault Enforce use of strong passwords Differentiate security policy between different types of customers
For some customers, open SSH access to service instance VMs to enable implementation of their corporate security policies For other customers, lock SSH access to service instance VMs to provide a virtual appliance view of the service and to protect the internal metering & billing and IP artifacts
46
2012 IBM Corporation

Patch Mgmt for PaaS Images and Virtual Machines


There needs to be clearly defined and documented patch management policies to update the service instances and application workload instances with security patches and product updates
Consider these separately for managed services and unmanaged services

Patch Management for Managed Services


Patch mgmt for images
Update images in the public catalog on a regular basis with the latest security patches and product updates VMs created using a catalog image gets the patches & updates included in the most recent image update

Patch mgmt for VMs


Since a VM is deployed from an image, newer security patches may have arrived and the VM may be out-of-sync Security rules may require strict adherence to patching schedules (e.g., apply critical patches within 3 days)

Patch Management for Unmanaged Services


Patch mgmt for images
It may be acceptable to just include the latest security patches and product updates with images produced for release refresh with no further image patching outside of release refresh May require release refreshes to be fairly frequent (e.g., once every 4-6 weeks)

Patch mgmt for VMs


Either no patching or at best manual patching for already deployed VMs It is desirable to provide an update facility that can update or replace an existing VM with code from latest image refresh so that the VM becomes current with all security patches that the image already has (this is better than no patching or manual patching)

TFIM Business Gateway does not include TAMeB/TDS in the bundle. Enriched User interface for Self care for Business transactions such as Reset Password, Request access etc. Recommended Identity Storage Platform for Provider. For small provider deployments (say <1K users), open Ldap as a registry could be an option. As needed within Consumer / Provider environments. Recommended in all deployments at Provider side. Consumer side optional Product Description Selection Guidance

IBM Tivoli Directory Server IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator IBM Tivoli Identity Manager IBM Tivoli Access Manager For EBusiness (TAMeB)

Recommended in all deployments at Provider side. Recommended in all large deployments at Provider side. TFIM Primary role for SaaS adoption is FSSO. TFIM User selfcare may also be a consideration for provider side user management.

IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Enterprise (TFIM)

IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Business Gateway (TFIM BG)

More suitable for consumer side. Especially Consumers that do not already have a viable federation mechanism. TIM Self Service or TFIM User self care may not provide sufficiently customizable Self service UIs in a multi tenant environment. As a result a Presentation component such as Portal may be desirable. It is recommended to use TDS as registry for Portal.

A reference to help enterprise IT & business decision makers as they analyze and consider the security implications of cloud computing on their business. (Published August, 2012)

10 Steps to Manage Cloud Security


1. Ensure effective governance, risk & compliance 2. Audit operational & business processes 3. Manage people, roles & identities 4. Ensure proper protection of data & information 5. Enforce privacy policies 6. Assess the security provisions for cloud applications 7. Ensure cloud networks & connections are secure 8. Evaluate security controls on physical infrastructure & facilities 9. Manage security terms in the cloud SLA 10. Understand the security requirements of the exit process
81

The CSCC has created a practical guide to help those with information security expertise as well as those that dont have domain expertise. This work will help organizations step through ten areas to be cognizant of when evaluating cloud providers. The end effect is helping companies avoid decisions that put their data and service at risk. Ryan Kean, Senior Director, Enterprise Architecture, The Kroger Company.

Market adoption accelerating


The OAuth 2.0 specification is developed by the OAuth Community and managed internationally through the IETF

What is it?
OAuth is an open protocol to allow authorized access in a simple and standard method from cloud, desktop, mobile and web applications to REST API endpoints. It provides a consistent model that bridges on-premise to cloud.

What is new?
OAuth 2.0 simplifies the process of developing a client, building on the lessons learned from previous versions. The latest version includes many new profiles, authorization flows, and support for web apps, desktop apps, mobile & living room devices.

Why is it important?
OAuth 2.0 is a key security technology for the integration of REST APIs into the enterprise, whether inside or outside the firewall. The additional capabilities (flows) have significantly increased market adoption. It is now an underlying security protocol in four other security standards.

Current implementations include: Tivoli Federated Identity Manager 6.2.2, LotusLive Planned implementations include: IBM Connections, IBM Lotus Notes/Domino, Rational Team Concert, WebSphere, Sterling Learn more about OAuth 2.0: http://oauth.net/
