| ISPsystem Supports Cloud Linux’s SecureLVE in its ISPmanager Cloud Linux has announced that ISPsystem will support SecureLVE in their control panel, ISPmanager. As one of the leading web server control panels, ISPmanager allows hosting service providers to manage various aspects of a web server via a friendly and easy-to-use web interface. Integrating SecureLVE into the control panel gives hosting providers new security controls previously unavailable. SecureLVE is based on CloudLinux's Lightweight Virtual Environment technology and creates a new level of security for shared hosting servers. SecureLVE provides a virtualized file system, which separates each user on the server into its own environment, preventing one user from seeing any other users on the server. This new server security makes it difficult for hackers to attack, deface, or steal data from the shared web server. Since it is based on CloudLinux's Lightweight Virtual Environment technology that allows the administrator to control usage of the resources on a server at the tenant or application level, SecureLVE virtualizes a filesystem to limit the available applications, devices, and what a user can see in the file system to make it harder for an attacker to penetrate the server. Unlike existing technologies limited only to shell access, SecureLVE works across shell, CGI & cronjobs. The integration of SecureLVE into ISPmanager is further demonstration of Cloud Linux's promise to help service providers improve efficiency and security of multi- tenant setups. SecureLVE provides system administrations functionality similar to container based virtualization, but on application level instead of the OS level. It will fill the gap between shared hosting and virtual private servers (VPS), and will allow server administrators to increase server stability and density while greatly improving the security of shared hosting. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
