Evaluating Docker for Secure and Scalable Private Cloud with Container Technologies
The ongoing collaboration with the Maritime Division of Defence and Science Technology Group (DST) has resulted in another very useful piece of work that we are very glad to share through this blog. We have been conducting a series of Research and Development (R&D) projects with the same group in the Maritime Division of DST…
Understanding Container Isolation Mechanisms for Security-Sensitive Private Cloud
With the increasing trend of adopting containerised solution for cloud-based infrastructures, it is becoming increasingly important to pay appropriate attention to the security risks that usually characterise virtualised solutions using container technologies such as Docker. We have recently finished another successful project with our collaborators from Defence Science and Technology Group (DST). This project was…
Learning from a Detailed Security Analysis of Containerised Technologies
Container technologies, particularly Docker Engine, have been gaining significant popularity and adoption for building development and operational virtualised infrastructures. An increasing number of cloud technologies have started integrating container technologies into their platforms. While the performance and scalability advantages of containers are well known, there have been a number of concerns about the security of…
Modeling Security-Sensitive Architecture of Systems-of-Systems
An increasing number of software systems are considered Software Intensive Systems of Systems (SiSoS), which consist of dozens of constituent systems. Systems are interconnected using private or public networks, which can be prime target for security attacks. Hence, securing SiSoS is a huge challenge and an emerging areas of research and development. SoS can have…
Secure and Scalable Private Cloud for Defence Systems
Following on the successful completion of our collaborative project on building and evaluating private cloud for defence systems, our second project is on building and evaluating secure and scalable private cloud using container technologies. For our projects, we use Openstack software for private cloud and its related technologies. For evaluating the security and scalability of…
Private Cloud for Defence Systems
Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), An Australian Defence’s R&D organisation, recognises that Cloud Computing presents new opportunities for more flexible and efficient utilisation of computing resources. We have teamed up with DST’s submarine division’s researchers to build and apply knowledge and competency in designing and experimenting with private cloud infrastructure for combat systems. We…
