The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) announces the release of three related publications on trusted cloud and hardware-enabled security. The foundation of any data center or edge computing security strategy should be securing the platform on which data and workloads will be executed and accessed. The physical platform represents the first layer for any layered security approach and provides the initial protections to help ensure that higher-layer security controls can be trusted.
