Methods, storage subsystems, cloud storage systems, data processing programs, and computer program products (automated management of sensitive data in a cloud environment) for storing data in a shared networked environment

摘要

A method for storing data in a cloud environment is provided. A cloud environment includes a security layer. The method is to physically separate the cloud storage from the key vault system and receive the storage request along with the confidentiality rating, where the storage request is clouded along with the data and confidentiality rating. Receiving, received by the security layer via the storage access interface. The method encrypts the data to be stored, and the confidentiality rating in the data container, and classifies cloud storage into cloud territories, as requested by the key vault system. Each cloud area is assigned a trust level, classifying and storing a data container in one of the cloud areas of the cloud storage, and trusting that one of the cloud areas Further comprising causing the level to correspond to the confidentiality rating.
