Security in the cloud? You bet!

Public cloud is characterised by an array of value-added services such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other cutting-edge offerings that enhance efficiency and productivity. On the other hand, private cloud stands out with uncompromising low and stable fixed costs, weekly or monthly billing, clear and concise security guidelines, and state-of-the-art data protection measures that ensure total peace of mind.

Managed private cloud services are a good option for many sectors, providing close customization and contractual cost agreements, while meeting compliance requirements. It is recommended for highly regulated sectors and companies prioritizing reliability, control, security, and compliance, particularly in hybrid cloud scenarios.

Cloud Security Services: Securely into the private cloud

Security stands as the cornerstone of cloud infrastructure, especially within Zircoo's private cloud environment. By entrusting their data and workloads to Zircoo's private cloud, organizations automatically gain access to robust standards of cloud security. Our data centers boast certifications adhering to internationally recognized benchmarks like ISO/IEC 27001 and ISAE 3402, ensuring compliance and reliability. Furthermore, our standard service package encompasses essential features such as Managed Detection and Response (MDR), comprehensive endpoint vulnerability management, and fortified perimeter security measures. Additionally, each client benefits from a dedicated firewall shielding their hosted data against unauthorized access.
However, in the realm of digital manufacturing, we advocate for an elevated level of security measures. Edge IIoT devices and interconnected machinery within production networks present prime targets for cyber threats. Malicious actors often exploit vulnerabilities in these systems, aiming to disrupt operations by targeting critical Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) interfaces. To mitigate such risks, Zircoo operates a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) equipped with advanced capabilities like Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) and comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment & Management services. These additional layers of defense are essential in safeguarding against potential disruptions and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of production processes.
