AcroEOS block producer security infrastructure
Blockproducing and security is most important attribute for Block Producer. In this post we are going to explain AcroEOS infrastructure which has been structured by from ICB’s financial server experience.
Before we started on structuring the AcroEOS infrastructure our team has compare the advantages and disadvantages on both BareMetal server and Cloud server. After long evaluations our team has decided to build an EOS server with Korean standard compliance of financial server operation. Following are the reasons we decided to go on with Baremetal server.
- Data breaches: Data breaches are problems that is not only in the cloud computing, but it can be major concerns for cloud customers. Cloud environment is exposed to the same problems which exist in corporate network, and additional attacks could be reached through shared resources, cloud service employees, and third-party partners of cloud service providers through those devices.
- In adequate Identification and access management: Inadequete user can masquerading as legitimate user such as operator or developers and read, extract, modify, delete data.
- Malicious insider: malicious insiders such as system administrator can access potential valuable information. Malicious insider can increase access to critical system and data. System that rely solely on cloud service providers have potential of security risk.
- Insufficient Due Diligence: Management should always carefully consider selecting cloud technology and cloud service providers when setting up a business strategy. Adopting cloud technology and choosing a cloud service provider without due diligence can expose to potential commercial, financial, technical, legal, and regulatory compliance risks.

Additionally EOS is ultimately aiming to become block chain based cloud computing platforms to provide benefits of blockchain’s integrity, interoperability, and transparency. In its ultimate goal EOS is a competitor to services that provide cloud computing such as Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. AcroEOS believes that to provide block-chain cloud computing services it is important that the EOS mainnet system is dependent on other competing cloud computing services, AcroEOS have decided to use baremetal servers because use of public cloud computing services may bring centralization.
AcroEOS believes that providing its own hardware infrastructure in the data center suits the ultimate goal of EOS mainnet. AcroEOS have installed network line and power supply redundancy, load balancing, reverse proxy and filter web firewall services to establish security enhancement.
Block Producer Security Infrastructure Proposal
AcroEOS have been participated in ghostbusters testnet validation from the beginning and was able to construct the infrastructure as now through the consultation process. AcroEOS would like to thank Ghostbusters team for sharing this wonderful infrastructure.
