​As businesses are developing rapidly, and IT infrastructures are constantly diversified, a single public / private cloud or a traditional on-premises datacenter is no longer able to meet service requirements in terms of costs, performance, scalability, security, and compatibility. Users are increasingly choosing hybrid clouds to meet their needs. Hybrid clouds take advantage of various clouds and traditional IT infrastructures and work systematically to benefit the users based on their service requirements.However, hybrid clouds pose new security risks, bringing a few challenges on security protection. This initiative aims to develop a security white paper specifying hybrid cloud security risks and countermeasures, helping users identify and reduce risk. This initiative proposes to provide suggestions on hybrid cloud governance, hybrid cloud threat profiles, and hybrid cloud security evaluation, guiding both users and cloud service providers to choose and provide secure hybrid cloud solutions, and promoting security planning and implementation.

Scope
  • Develop a set of security guidelines for cloud infrastructures architected for High Performance needs;
  • Develop holistic security framework covering HPC cloud infrastructure and pure HPC bare metal infrastructure; and also on-premise infrastructure overflowing to public cloud infrastructures;
  • Develop reference models for secured HPC cloud implementation; and
  • Share with other HPC thought leaders in the region.

  • Focus on security issues in selecting, deploying, and providing hybrid cloud solutions.
  • Focus on key security areas hybrid cloud faces such as sensitive data protection, identity and access control, application security, logging/monitoring, centralized management, and network security.
    • Security issues on hybrid cloud application, including production testing, elastic expansion, and disaster recovery.
    • Security compliance, regulation compliance, and privacy data processing issues in using hybrid clouds.
