Zero Trust Object Storage Access Control

This solution brief outlines the capabilities of Progress Kemp LoadMaster in implementing a zero-trust model for object storage access control. It explains how LoadMaster load balancers optimize object storage environments by enforcing quality of service (QoS) policies and enabling distributed single-namespace deployment. The document details the challenges associated with securing object storage, which treats data as objects rather than in a hierarchical file system. It emphasizes the importance of applying a zero-trust security model to ensure compliant and policy-based access control. The brief describes key features such as fine-grained access control, security zone-based policy logic, and storage operation awareness. Additionally, it presents the operational framework for deploying the LoadMaster as a zero-trust access gateway, highlighting the automated definition and maintenance of complex access policies. The document concludes by emphasizing the ease of use and granularity of control provided by the LoadMaster solution.
