NCCoE Learning Series: Trusted Cloud and Hardware Enabled Security
In April 2022, the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) announced the release of five new publications on trusted cloud and hardware-enabled security. The foundation of any data center or edge computing security strategy should be securing the platform on which data and workloads will be executed and accessed. The physical platform represents the first layer for any layered security approach and provides the initial protections to help ensure that higher-layer security controls can be trusted. The five new publications are:
- Special Publication (SP) 1800-19, Trusted Cloud: Security Practice Guide for VMware Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Environments
- NIST Internal Report (NISTIR) 8320, Hardware-Enabled Security: Enabling a Layered Approach to Platform Security for Cloud and Edge Computing Use Cases
- NISTIR 8320A, Hardware-Enabled Security: Container Platform Security Prototype
- NISTIR 8320B, Hardware-Enabled Security: Policy-Based Governance in Trusted Container Platforms
- Draft NISTIR 8320C, Hardware-Enabled Security: Machine Identity Management and Protection
During this webinar, we will provide a brief overview of each individual publication, highlight how they are all related, and showcase how they can be used by the general security community.
