Enclaves
Segregated sensitive data has improved compliance and simplifies focused security policies
What is our primary use case?
I use Enclaves mainly for my customers to provide a more secure way to separate data from the regular networks. A requirement for CMMC is that data containing CUI is protected, and that is the main reason I leverage Enclaves, which ensures I can separate that data from the rest of the network.
It provides a more secure and compliant approach. I had a flat network where CUI was going through email. I created an Enclave in which email is separated, data is stored in a separate network location, and people access email, storage, and that data from Enclave instead of from the network. This way I can protect things in different ways. I can apply policies to Enclave that I do not need to apply to the rest of the network.
It offers a more secure, compliant way that allows me to apply policies as needed to those computers that are part of Enclave and then allow the business to be more productive on the rest of the network.
What is most valuable?
Definitely faster compliance, saving money and smaller scope, which in essence helps make it easier for the technicians and the people that are doing the day-to-day work.
What needs improvement?
For how long have I used the solution?
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. The way I have deployed it, it functions as a network of its own with different capabilities than the regular network and different use cases. I think it is flexible enough for us to expand Enclave or reduce size while also not affecting the rest of the network or infrastructure.
How are customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
How was the initial setup?
It was pretty straightforward and not that costly when comparing to other solutions out there.
