Protection of Data

We have combined the advantages of CloudFlare and Microsoft Azure to bring a highly available and securely hosted library system to customers.

 

CloudFlare Security

  • Anycast Network - With 118 data centres across 57 countries and 10 TBPS of capacity, Cloudflare’s Anycast network absorbs distributed attack traffic by dispersing it geographically, while keeping Internet properties available and performant.
  • DNSSEC is the Internet’s nonspoofable caller ID. It guarantees a web application’s traffic is safely routed to the correct servers so that a site’s visitors are not intercepted by a hidden “man-in-the-middle” attacker.
  • Cloudflare’s enterprise grade web application firewall (WAF) detects and blocks common application layer vulnerabilities at the network edge, utilising the OWASP Top 10, application specific and custom rule sets.
  • Rate Limiting protects critical resources by providing fine grained control to block or qualify visitors with suspicious request rates.
  • Transport Security Layer (TLS) encryption enables HTTPS connections between visitors and origin server(s), preventing man-in-the-middle attacks, packet sniffing, the display of web browser trust warnings, and more.
  • Cloudflare is an ICANN accredited registrar, protecting organisations from domain hijacking with high touch, online and offline verification for any changes to a registrar account.
  • Cloudflare Orbit solves security related issues for Internet of Things devices at the network level.

 

Microsoft Data Centre Physical Security

  • Multi Layer physical and logical security.
  • High security perimeter fence.
  • 24/7/365 surveillance.
  • Vehicle check points.
  • World class access control procedures.
  • Multifactor biometric entry point.
  • Full body metal detection.
  • On site hard drive destruction.
  • State of the art fire suppression systems.
  • 24/7/365 protection from Microsoft’s Cyber defense operations centre.
  • 300 billion user authentications processed each month.
  • Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL), which uses symmetric cryptography based on a shared secret to encrypt communications as they travel over the network.
  • Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), an industry-standard set of protocols used to provide authentication, integrity, and confidentiality of data at the IP packet level as it’s transferred across the network.
  • Advanced Encryption Standard(AES)-256, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) specification for a symmetric key data encryption that was adopted by the US government to replace Data Encryption Standard (DES) and RSA 2048 public key encryption technology.
  • Microsoft Azure Storage Service Encryption encrypts data at rest when it’s stored in Azure Blob storage.
  • Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) encrypts data at rest when it’s stored in an Azure SQL database.
