A distributed cloud edge continuum, multi-party collaboration and a multi-cloud environment significantly increase the attack possibility for espionage, sabotage and cybercrime. In a trusted Cloud-Edge infrastructure and associated services, end-to-end protection of critical data must be guaranteed anywhere, anytime.
Adva Network Security GmbH‘s TRUE-SEC – TRUsted cloud connectivity Enabled by automated endpoint SECurity – project is developing customer-controlled key management and continuous network monitoring to enable secure connectivity for trusted applications in the Cloud-Edge continuum. The goal is to implement advanced security and automation capabilities for government customers, critical infrastructure operators and organizations with high protection needs.
The connection between two endpoints takes place after successful authentication and key management via two VPN tunnels secured with strong quantum-safe cryptography. By monitoring the security of active connections and network resources, attacks can be detected at an early stage and countermeasures initiated.
