Segmented and secure virtual private cloud (VPC) networks
Highly restricted, role-based access to production EC2 environments governed by the least privilege principle
Hardened EC2 instance images
Mirrored infrastructure across two Australian-Based availability zones
External auditing of technical architecture and penetration risk.
Backups taken daily with an archive of 30 daily backups and 3 monthly backups.
Firewalls configured to “default deny”
High availability built-in via load balancers
Unlimited, secure storage capacity with S3
Continuous monitoring of all components, sub-components, and internal/external/front-end/back-end applications to assist infrastructure and service integrity
Infrastructure Redundancy
Ellby’s primary data centers provide global average uptime of >99.9999%. That means each of the data centers typically experience outages totaling less than 5 minutes and 15 seconds over the course of a year. To ensure availability, all Ellby infrastructures deploy a minimum of N+1 redundancy, meaning every mission-critical component has at least one backup.
Data Center Network Security
Our infrastructure is protected by several layers of network-based security controls including host-based firewalls, intrusion detection systems, load balancers, and virtual firewall technology such as AWS Security Groups. Encryption is utilised to protect data in transit, including TLS/SSL encryption over HTTPS connections utilised for secure communications between an Ellby solution and customer end users. Authorised IT engineers access production network equipment and data stored remotely, via secure two-factor authentication enabled SSL VPN tunnels.
