Extreme’s Cloud

Extreme Networks’ Cloud Services are hosted within Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud data centers, taking advantage of their security and compliance capabilities at the data-center layer. Extreme Networks takes additional measures to secure our cloud-based applications.

Threats to the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of customers’ information are taken seriously. Extreme is the first major cloud networking vendor recognized by the global standard for commitment to information security management systems best practices and controls.

Extreme has implemented continuous monitoring for malicious and unauthorized behavior, including unauthorized system access and brute-force attacks. Firewalls control and protect inbound and outbound traffic, and industry-leading tools address DDoS-attack prevention and flow control.

Extreme secures access to the underlying computing infrastructure with features like VPC, NAT, TLS encryption, reporting tools, and automated password protection. Along with limiting access to a small number of designated engineers. Extreme also monitors and tracks DevOps personnel activities in its cloud environments, with a server and application audit trail.

Extreme provides daily backups of production network data and storage of backups in an encrypted state. For added security, our cloud networking solution also encrypts data while in transit between a customer’s site and the regional data center (RDC) containing the customer’s ExtremeCloud IQ instance. The RDCs do not collect or retain any data traffic generated on the customer networks.

Extreme employs industry-standard OS hardening processes for production server deployment. All ExtremeCloud IQ releases and patches are hardened with continuous penetration scanning for application vulnerabilities, to prevent any issues prior to actual deployment in production.
