Scalable security for cloud data lakes using virtual firewalls
The patent US12041031B2 outlines a method and software-as-a-service (SaaS) computing platform designed to automate the provisioning and management of data lakes within cloud computing environments. The method involves creating multiple data lakes in a private data cloud, each protected by a virtual firewall. This firewall is strategically associated with subsets of data lakes that correspond to distinct external enterprise networks, ensuring that security requirements are enforced effectively. The automation of these processes is executed through software running on hardware, facilitating efficient management across different geographic regions and distinct cloud services.
Additionally, the patent details features such as the ability to implement a secondary virtual firewall for redundancy, ensuring continuous operation in case of a failure. The virtual firewall is responsible for managing all traffic to and from the data lakes, with capabilities to enforce various security measures, including security policy rulesets and intrusion detection profiles. The system also allows for end-to-end encryption of traffic between external networks and their respective data lakes, while providing isolated access for individual customers. This ensures that each customer's data remains secure and separate from others, enhancing the overall security and integrity of the cloud computing services offered.
