Description
Shielded VMs are fortified virtual machines on Google Cloud that incorporate a range of security measures designed to safeguard against rootkits and bootkits. By utilizing Shielded VMs, enterprises can shield their workloads from various threats, including remote intrusions, privilege escalations, and harmful insider actions. These VMs utilize sophisticated security features such as secure and measured boot processes, a virtual trusted platform module (vTPM), UEFI firmware, and continuous integrity monitoring. With just a few simple clicks, users can activate Shielded VMs, providing protection against sophisticated threats from malicious insiders, compromised guest firmware, and both kernel and user-mode vulnerabilities. This streamlined process makes it easier than ever to enhance the security posture of cloud-based workloads.
Description
Secure your workloads, streamline adherence to regulations, and ensure data sovereignty with IBM Cloud Secure Virtualization. A reliable cloud infrastructure must address critical concerns regarding corporate governance, security, and compliance. Customers seek to establish a setting where administration, workload performance, and data accessibility are limited to specific geographic locations while maintaining comprehensive audit capabilities. During the setup process, it is essential to determine the firmware settings that will be permitted and the hypervisor settings that have received approval. Carefully catalog each physical host along with its location, generating a snapshot or fingerprint of the launch configuration for each trusted host. This information is compiled into an allowlist. When the BIOS and hypervisor measurements of a host align with those recorded in the allowlist, the boot environment is verified. Consequently, the host is initiated in a state deemed secure and trusted, ensuring the integrity of the cloud environment throughout its operation. By implementing these protocols, organizations can confidently manage their cloud resources while meeting stringent security standards.
