    摘要: Information technology infrastructure comprises a computing environment shared by multiple tenants of a service provider, and a secure assessment environment separate from the shared computing environment. An evidence collection module associated with the shared computing environment collects compliance evidence from the shared computing environment for storage in the secure assessment environment. A tenant assessment interface to the secure assessment environment is provided, through which the tenants can access the compliance evidence as stored in the secure assessment environment in a manner that does not undermine security of the shared computing environment. The compliance evidence may include, for example, information sufficient to allow a tenant to verify that the shared computing environment is configured in accordance with a specified security policy. In an illustrative embodiment, the information technology infrastructure comprises cloud infrastructure of a cloud service provider and the shared computing environment comprises a cloud computing environment.

    摘要: A processing device comprises a processor coupled to a memory and implements an obligation management system for information technology infrastructure, with the obligation management system being configured to process a plurality of obligations on behalf of a relying party to verify implementation of corresponding controls in information technology infrastructure of a claimant. A given one of the obligations has an associated obligation fulfiller that is inserted or otherwise deployed as a component within the information technology infrastructure of the claimant and is configured to provide evidence of the implementation of one or more of the controls responsive to an obligation assertion so as to establish an associated trust aspect of the claimant. The information technology infrastructure may comprise distributed virtual infrastructure of a cloud service provider. The claimant may comprise the cloud service provider and the relying party may comprise a tenant of the cloud service provider.

    摘要: Cloud infrastructure of a cloud service provider comprises a processing platform implementing a security policy enforcement framework. The security policy enforcement framework comprises a policy analyzer that is configured to identify at least one security policy associated with at least one tenant of the cloud service provider, to analyze the security policy against configuration information characterizing the cloud infrastructure of the cloud service provider, and to control execution of one or more applications of said at least one tenant within the cloud infrastructure in accordance with the security policy, based at least in part on one or more results of the analysis of the security policy. The security policy enforcement framework may be implemented in a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) layer of the cloud infrastructure, and may comprise a runtime controller, an operating system controller, a hypervisor controller and a PaaS controller.
