e2e Secure Cloud Connect Service - Service Definition
Document
Overview
A cloud connectivity service that connects users, devices, offices and clouds together over the Internet. Organisations can choose a service that suits their security and connectivity requirements. Includes VPN clients that support Windows, Mac, Linux and most tablets and phones to provide secure anywhere access to cloud resources. This is a cloud independent service as it covers cloud connectivity to e2e or any other suitable cloud provider.
Service Overview
Cloud services offer outstanding value for money but the connectivity to and from the services is often overlooked. e2e’s secure cloud connect service takes away all the hassle of implementing and managing the secure connectivity required to consume the services securely. The service is designed to the highest security standards and follows CESG best practice and architectural guidelines. This can provide all the security and service advantages of commissioning dedicated private links but is much quicker, cost effective and scalable.
The service reduces an organisation’s exposure to threats by consolidating all cloud connectivity to a security gateway that cleanses and monitors traffic. This gateway provides security services such as in-line antivirus scanning, intrusion prevention and optional protective monitoring as well as other advanced security monitoring services. The service provides a complete VPN and security hub that provides strong encryption with certificate based, always-on full tunnel client/mobile VPNs as well as on demand, two-factor based thin client style connectivity from appropriately secured devices. Mobile devices are supported and can be managed as part of the service.

e2e Secure Cloud Connect Service – Connectivity options and responsibilities
The diagram above shows the managed cloud on the right. Items in blue are the customer’s responsibility and items in orange and green are e2e’s responsibility. The service is designed to be consumed over the Internet using IPSec VPNs or TLS encryption. e2e can provide an optional dedicated VPN device at any of the customers’ locations in order to provide a managed site to site VPN service. The customer can also choose to provide their own fixed VPN endpoint. Remote access VPNs follow the same pattern; e2e can provide a VPN client or the customer can use their existing VPN client (so long as it is a CESG CPA foundation approved product). How do I know which service is appropriate?
There is a level of service appropriate for all organisations. If you do not currently know what the right level of service is we offer a simple process:
1. e2e provide a free, one day on site cloud workshop led by a CESG Senior IA Architect where we work with your organisation to establish your requirements and cover aspects such as your organisations risk profile and security assurance requirements, connectivity requirements as well as your platform and application requirements.
2. The workshop report includes expert advice from e2e and includes generating your heat map similar to the below and this gives us a score:

Roles and responsibilities
This is a fully managed service that covers the creation of the fixed VPNs, provision of the mobile VPN devices and cloud connect security services. Each customer solution has dedicated VPN devices at the e2e datacentre and customers can either use existing VPN devices or e2e provided devices at their managed VPN end points. The customer (or the customers 3rd party supplier) is responsible for installing and configuring the mobile VPN clients and supporting the end users.
The customer is responsible for managing any of their own VPN devices used in the service or delegating management of these devices to e2e.
e2e are responsible for managing all the VPN devices they provide as part of the service.
The customer is responsible for providing details of all users and informing e2e of users leaving the service.
Pricing
There is an on-boarding charge for this service. This is to enable your organisation to be able to consume the service and includes training and guided build workshops to streamline the on-boarding. The on-boarding charges are one off charges that are incurred at service commencement. There is a second one off charge that is incurred when scaling up. This is due to the increase in license, underlying private compute, bandwidth and other service costs that are required to provide the new level of service.
There are three parts to the pricing; the number of mobile VPN users, MDM users and the number of fixed VPNs.

Cloud Connect Security Monitoring/ Protective Monitoring Service
The Cloud Connect service can be purchased without a protective monitoring service if an organisation determines that they do not require it. This would result in the service logging data but no actions being taken to investigate or inform the customer of the alerts. Organisations can also choose one of three levels of protective monitoring – i.e. they can choose a premium cloud connect service and a baseline protective monitoring service or any other such combination that best aligns with their risk posture.
The protective monitoring service provides a complete security monitoring system, designed and built by e2e experts who have spent over 15 years designing and building security systems for major banks, telco’s, payment providers and the military. e2e have taken the best of open source and commercial systems and blended them together to provide a formidable arsenal of security services.
Some of the components of this system have been provided below:
Log collection, storage and monitoring of all data flowing through the secure cloud connect
Network based IDS using open source tools and network based IPS using commercial tools
Traffic monitoring and intelligent traffic analysis (i.e. detects and classifies traffic based on its type not it’s port number – e.g. detects data tunnelling and applications using nonstandard ports, exfiltration and other data leakages)
Packet capture and analysis to enable investigations into alerts and to support incident response
DNS monitoring to detect DNS lookups to known or suspected malware or other suspicious domain names
Botnet monitoring – hunts for and alerts on any type of connection known to be used by botnets
Web and email threat monitoring – monitors access to the Internet and emails and hunts for known threats and signs of potential threats in web site browsing, URLs and emails
Threat indicator monitoring and latest threat intelligence monitoring
Geographic analysis of all attacks and traffic
Cloud-focused service design that provides monitoring of the latest cloud based threats and intelligence
Fully managed cloud service that can be provided with varying levels of customer involvement as appropriate
In depth reporting on all aspects of the service

Proxy Services
Web, DNS, NTP and SMTP proxy services can be provided to further secure your organisation’s cloud. You will need to configure all your services to point to a cluster of proxy services at e2e and close down all other outbound internet access from your other services other than the VPNs. This dramatically increases your security and simplifies your cloud landscape. The same can be done for SMTP traffic. If required we can also provide SSL inspection of all outgoing HTTPS traffic to look for threats buried in encrypted traffic. This method of cloud security is highly effective at bringing your cloud under control and allows us to identify anomalous traffic by its characteristics as well as by matching against known threats.
These services are only available at Enhanced and Premium. Organisations will only ever need one of each of the items below unless they chose a dual site service which then requires two.
Web proxy service (1 to 250 users/ IP addresses)

Dual site options
The service can be distributed across two e2e datacentres. This provides availability levels above 99.99%. This increases the quantity of fixed VPNs required. The dual site costs are double the single site cost. e2e provide connectivity between sites as part of the dual site service. Either site on its own is capable of handling all traffic.
Other Services
A range of other services are available that can be used to perform tasks such as assisting you with the roll out of VPN clients, connecting the mobile VPN to active directory or certificate services for user authentication or to assist with design aspects of the service. These are priced per day as per e2e’s SFIA rate card.
