Atsign deploys NoPorts for invisible cloud on AWS

Atsign announced the deployment of an “invisible cloud” environment on Amazon Web Services, utilizing its NoPorts technology. This development aims to enhance security and privacy for AWS customers by making their cloud infrastructure undetectable to unauthorized users.

NoPorts, part of Atsign's atPlatform, eliminates the need for open inbound ports, a common target for cyberattacks. This approach ensures that only authenticated entities can communicate, creating a secure environment under a Zero Trust model.

Key benefits of invisible clouds on AWS with NoPorts:

• Unparalleled security - NoPorts allows for connectivity without open inbound ports, thus keeping cloud instances hidden from public scans and attacks.
• Enhanced privacy - The elimination of open ports reduces the risk of data breaches, giving organizations greater control over sensitive information.
• Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) - NoPorts requires cryptographic authentication for every connection, minimizing reliance on traditional perimeter defenses.
• Seamless connectivity - The invisible cloud remains fully operational, allowing secure communication without interrupting workflows.
• Protection for various cloud services - NoPorts can apply to APIs, databases, web applications, AI/ML models, microservices, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and more.

“This is a substantial advancement in cloud security,” said Barbara Tallent, CEO of Atsign. “Extending our invisible cloud capabilities to AWS empowers more organizations to protect their most valuable assets. NoPorts makes data and infrastructure inherently inaccessible to attackers.”

The introduction of invisible clouds on AWS offers organizations a tactical method to address the rising threat of cyberattacks. By not relying on open ports, the NoPorts technology reduces the attack surface, complicating access for potential threats.
