KbA0008: CopperTree Data Center Security

Description

CopperTree Analytics utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the USA/Canada for its secure cloud services. CopperTree reviewed a number of secure cloud server solutions before settling on AWS, which is a leader and benchmark in secure cloud solutions.

We have outlined a number of AWS security measures in this document, however, you can find more information on the AWS webpage, here.

For any specific questions, please reach out to our Security team.

Perimeter Layer

AWS data center physical security begins at the Perimeter Layer. This Layer includes a number of security features depending on the location, such as security guards, fencing, security feeds, intrusion detection technology, and other security measures. Scroll down to learn more about the types of security measures we have in place within the Perimeter Layer of the data centers we operate around the world.

Infrastructure Layer

The Infrastructure Layer is the data center building and the equipment and systems that keep it running. Components like back-up power equipment, the HVAC system, and fire suppression equipment are all part of the Infrastructure Layer. These devices and systems help protect servers and ultimately your data. Scroll down to learn more about the types of security measures we deploy in the Infrastructure Layer of our data centers.

Data Layer

The Data Layer is the most critical point of protection because it is the only area that holds customer data. Protection begins by restricting access and maintaining a separation of privilege for each layer. In addition, we deploy threat detection devices, video surveillance and system protocols, further safeguarding this layer. Scroll down to learn more about some of the security measures we have in place within the Data Layer.

Environmental Layer

The Environmental Layer is dedicated to environmental considerations from site selection and construction to operations and sustainability. AWS carefully chooses our data center locations to mitigate environmental risks, such as flooding, extreme weather, and seismic activity.
