Atsign today announced the successful deployment of an “invisible cloud” environment on Amazon Web Services (AWS), leveraging its innovative NoPorts technology. This breakthrough delivers a new level of security and privacy for AWS customers, making their cloud infrastructure undetectable to unauthorized parties.
Atsign’s NoPorts technology, built on the atPlatform, changes how devices and applications connect. By eliminating the need for open inbound ports, NoPorts removes the most common attack vector exploited by cybercriminals. This “zero trust by design” approach ensures that only authenticated and authorized entities can communicate, creating a secure and private environment.
Key Benefits of Invisible Clouds on AWS with NoPorts:
- Unparalleled Security – NoPorts provides connectivity without requiring any open inbound ports, rendering cloud instances invisible to public internet scans and attacks.
- Enhanced Privacy – By removing open ports, NoPorts significantly reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, giving organizations greater control over their sensitive information.
- Zero Trust Architecture – NoPorts is built on Atsign’s atPlatform, a zero trust foundation that requires cryptographic authentication for every connection. This eliminates the reliance on traditional perimeter defenses and establishes a more robust security model.
- Seamless Connectivity – Despite its invisibility, the cloud remains fully functional. NoPorts enables secure and private communication between authorized individuals and services, without disrupting existing workflows.
- Protection for a Wide Range of Cloud Services – NoPorts can make a wide array of cloud-hosted services invisible, including:
- APIs
- Databases
- Web applications
- AI/ML models
- AI agents
- Microservices
- IoT applications
- Edge computing deployments
“This is a significant advancement in cloud security,” said Barbara Tallent, CEO of Atsign. “Extending our invisible cloud capabilities to AWS, the industry’s leading cloud platform, empowers even more organizations to protect their most valuable assets. NoPorts redefines cloud security by making data and infrastructure inherently inaccessible to attackers. Now, organizations can confidently deploy their most sensitive applications and data, including cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies, with the assurance that they are shielded from unauthorized access.”
The ability to create invisible clouds on AWS provides organizations with a powerful new tool to combat the ever-increasing threat of cyberattacks. By eliminating open ports, NoPorts dramatically reduces the attack surface, making it significantly more difficult for malicious actors to gain access to sensitive data and critical systems.
