AURO, the public cloud division of Canadian Web Hosting, has announced that they have made available several new security enhancements on their OpenStack-based public cloud platform, including Two-Factor Authentication. Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security on top of the standard username and password style of authentication and provides an additional security mechanism for businesses and developers to meet their ongoing corporate authentication requirements. Specifically, they’ve implemented several authentication services including Twilio and Google’s Security Token Service (STS) that enables user authentication, authorization and single sign-on to to services located virtually anywhere – including perimeter networks, partner networks and in the cloud.
AURO was built to give Canada its first true enterprise public cloud that can support a wide range of cloud computing requirements. With a free account, open APIs (Application Program Interface), Canadian cloud storage and enhanced management tools, customers get immediate access to a single platform that can deliver highly scalable public cloud computing, private cloud and hybrid cloud services. AURO’s services were designed to include operational and architectural compatibility with AWS (Amazon Web Services). In addition, businesses now have cloud computing pricing that matches or beats all other providers along with data control by keeping their data in Canada and benefiting from Canada’s robust data privacy laws. Plus they’ve use a defense-in-depth strategy that embeds security controls at every layer of the cloud. Some of these controls include:
- OS Hardening (such as removal of non-essential packages and services)
- Logging for a secure network audit trail, Network Access Control Lists for resource network partitioning
- Encryption via SSL/TLS-enabled API endpoints
- Restricted Operator Access via the secure administration gateway
- Virtual Private Cloud that increases network isolation for application services
