LeoNovus Offers Top-Level Security and Privacy with its Geo-Distributed Cloud Architecture Design

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LeoNovus® Inc. ("LeoNovus") (TSXV: LTV), a leading Internet and distributed Cloud Services company has architected its geo-distributed cloud services with the critical feature-sets of high-level security and privacy into the design. These features become evermore vital as news of large-scale data breaches and vulnerabilities grow and the negative impact to industry, financial institutions, enterprise and personal privacy continues to escalate. According to DATA Breach Today the FBI and Apple are investigating the release of hundreds of celebrities' personal photographs and videos, which security researchers suspect is tied to compromises of iCloud, Dropbox or other cloud-service accounts. Additionally, there have been numerous hacks for gaining access into large retailers for consumer personal and financial data, for companies such as Home Depot, Target, JC Penney and eBay to name a few. And no one seems exempt -- the late 2013 data breach at Adobe exposed user-account information and prompted a flurry of password-reset emails that impacted at least 38 million users, the company now says. It also appears that the already massive source code leak at Adobe is broadening to include the company's Photoshop family of graphical design products.

LeoNovus cloud services are ideal for companies, institutions and persons who have the need to create private networks that secure and protect their assets, as well as eliminate the possible use of their data by big-brand cloud-service providers.

LeoNovus achieves high security and reliability via its unique proprietary processing and networking technology. First off, the LeoNovus cloud services use the latest and most cutting-edge security and encryption protocols available today. However, its proprietary geo-dispersed distribution of data design takes this much further. LeoNovus offers client-side encryption, ensuring the data is protected before leaving the customer's premises. In this way, their security, privacy, and asset protection policies and services remain in effect. Therefore, privacy and compliance are maintained for many regulatory and legal constraints; however, encryption alone is not sufficient to meet LeoNovus high security standards. The LeoNovus cloud service takes the encrypted files and segments them into small elements that are re-encrypted and redundantly geo-distributed over its wide-area network for further protection of the data. If any of these small-encrypted elements from a storage endpoint is hacked, it will only expose an encrypted bit of the data file with no ability to reconstruct the entire file. The same mechanism that protects the customer's data through segmentation also ensures the integrity of the content through two mechanisms: standard digital signatures and forward error correction. These mechanisms utilize the same techniques used in maintaining content integrity in RAID 6 or better SAN arrays today.

"The way to put this in perspective is to take the Mona Lisa, paint it white, attack it with a jigsaw, then put the jigsaw pieces through a shredder putting the bits in buckets all over North America," said Dan Willis, Chief Architect at LeoNovus. "That is effectively what we are doing, except we have the technology to bring all the original pieces back together again in near real-time."

The final critical element in data and services protection is preservation. This is achieved by the design of the LeoNovus distributed data center architecture solution. Through the same techniques mentioned above, the segmented and encrypted client data is not only distributed throughout the LeoNovus geo-distributed virtual data centre, it is also replicated. In this manner the loss of one or several endpoints from within the network does not impact the ability to restore the customer's data. With this solution in place, up to 70% of the LeoNovus Cloud Service endpoints could be out of commission with no impact on the ability to reconstruct the original data. And since the Network is also geographically distributed, beyond the influences of weather, power grids, geo-political boundaries, regulatory domains, even tectonic motion, a disaster in one or multiple locales does not put the customer data at risk.
