Securing cloud computing environments

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by a first processor of a first computer system implementing a cloud computing environment and having permission to store data in the cloud computing environment, a request to store data in the cloud computing environment;
• providing, by the first processor of the first computer system, the data to be stored in the cloud computing environment to a second computer system connected to the first computer system and lacking permission to store data in the cloud computing environment;
• receiving, by a second processor of the second computer system, the data from the first computer system;
• determining, by the second processor of the second computer system, that the data from the first computer system is safe for storing in the cloud computing environment;
• and
• transmitting, by the second processor of the second computer system to the first computer system:
• a notification indicating that the received data is safe for storage in the cloud computing environment, and
• an identifier that points to the stored data at a computer-readable storage medium included in the second computer system.

A system comprising:

• a first computer system implementing a cloud computing environment and having permission to store data in the cloud computing environment, the first computer system comprising:
• a first processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by the first processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a request to store data in the cloud computing environment;
• generating an identifier to identify the data;
• and
• providing the data to be stored in the cloud computing environment;
• and
• a second computer system connected to the first computer system and lacking permission to store data in the cloud computing environment, the second computer system comprising:
• a second processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by the second processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving the data from the first computer system;
• determining that the data from the first computer system is safe for storing in the cloud computing environment;
• storing the received data at a computer-readable storage medium that is connected to the first computer system;
• and
• transmitting to the first computer system:
• a notification indicating that the received data is safe for storage in the cloud computing environment, and
• an identifier that points to the stored data at the computer-readable storage medium.
