Application Security, Access Control, & Network Security

An authentication service that allows internet users to authenticate to an application using federated identity servers at sites like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, eliminating the need for users to create unique credentials for each application.

Federated Identity Management

The process of determining who should have access to data and what level of access they should have, often assigning permissions to groups rather than individual user accounts.

Access Control

The practice of isolating publicly accessible servers from the rest of the network to minimize the impact of attacks, such as hosting them in a public cloud or within an extranet in a private cloud.

Network Isolation

Security systems implemented within an extranet or network to detect and prevent server-to-server attacks, often used in conjunction with firewalls to enhance network security.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)

A secure, encrypted connection established over a public network, such as the internet, to allow remote management of servers in a public cloud environment without directly exposing them to the internet.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
