Security Layer Components

Security Layer Components

Swarm's security architecture incorporates multiple layers, each designed to address specific aspects of system protection. These components ensure robust security across the platform:

Layer	Function	Implementation
Edge Security	Prevents external threats such as DDoS attacks and web application vulnerabilities.	Cloud-native protection, including DDoS mitigation and Web Application Firewall (WAF).
Access Control	Manages user and service access with authentication and authorization mechanisms.	Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure secure access.
Network Security	Protects data in transit and ensures secure communication between nodes.	Mesh VPN using WireGuard and encryption protocols like TLS 1.3.
Runtime Security	Secures running applications and detects anomalies during execution.	Container isolation with secure enclaves for protected computation, and runtime monitoring for threats.

This multi-layered approach ensures Swarm provides a secure, resilient environment for handling sensitive workloads, aligning with industry best practices for modern cloud infrastructure.
