Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods that may be used to protect customer configurations and policies for IaaS implementations. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a systems manager may receive user input for generating a configuration associated with an IaaS, send the configuration to a user of the IaaS. The user may then sign the configuration using a private key of a public/private key pair. The systems manager may then receive the signed configuration from the user, and distribute the signed configuration to each of a plurality of endpoints configured in the IaaS.
Claims20
An Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) end-to-end security system comprising:
- a systems manager comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the systems manager to:
- receive user input for generating a configuration associated with an IaaS;
- send the configuration to a user of the IaaS, wherein the user signs the configuration using a private key of a public/private key pair;
- receive the signed configuration from the user;
- and
- distribute the signed configuration to each of a plurality of endpoints configured in the IaaS.
An Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) end-to-end security method comprising:
- receiving user input for generating a configuration associated with an IaaS;
- sending the configuration to a user of the IaaS, wherein the user signs the configuration using a private key of a public/private key pair;
- receiving the signed configuration from the user;
- and
- distributing the signed configuration to each of a plurality of endpoints configured in the IaaS.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:
- receive user input for generating a configuration associated with an IaaS;
- send the configuration to a user of the IaaS, wherein the user signs the configuration using a private key of a public/private key pair;
- receive the signed configuration from the user;
- and
- distribute the signed configuration to each of a plurality of endpoints configured in the IaaS.
