Load Balancer Encryption
E2E Networks Load Balancer Encryption ensures the security and confidentiality of data by encrypting traffic handled by load balancer instances at rest. This protection safeguards sensitive information such as SSL/TLS certificates and session data from unauthorized access, even in the event of a data breach or hardware compromise. E2E Networks utilizes industry-standard encryption protocols and integrates key management to protect both system-level and user-defined data. The encryption process is seamless and has minimal impact on performance, enabling secure and efficient traffic management. By enabling Load Balancer encryption, organizations can enhance their security posture, fulfill compliance obligations, and maintain the integrity of their network infrastructure in the cloud.
How E2E Networks Load Balancer Encryption works
-
You can enable encryption for Load Balancer on E2E Networks. When creating a Load Balancer, users can enable encryption by selecting the "Enable Encryption" checkbox. Additionally, an optional passphrase can be provided to further enhance the security of the encrypted Load Balancer.
-
E2E Networks utilizes LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) to provide robust full disk encryption for its Load Balancers. This encryption functions at the block level, securing data at the storage layer. The default cipher used is aes-xts-plain64, paired with a strong 512-bit key size, ensuring high levels of data security. Both the system and configuration volumes are fully encrypted by default, protecting critical components such as SSL/TLS certificates and load balancing policies. This encryption framework ensures that all essential aspects of the Load Balancer environment are secured against unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
-
At E2E Networks, storage security for Load Balancers is seamlessly enforced at the infrastructure level. Logical Volume Management (LVM) volumes powering the Load Balancer instances are encrypted in the backend as part of a comprehensive disk protection strategy. This encryption is completely transparent to users, requiring no manual intervention and leaving no visible footprint in the user interface, while silently ensuring all traffic-related data and configurations are protected.
