SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Atsign today announced the successful creation of the first invisible cloud on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using its NoPorts™ technology, built on the atPlatform™. This breakthrough addresses the increasing need for cloud security by making data inaccessible to external threats and even to the cloud provider itself.
How Does NoPorts Make the Cloud Invisible?
The Atsign cloud instance operates on a non-routable IP address (10.1918), which shields it from the public Internet. All inbound ports on the virtual machine are closed, preventing access even from Google employees. This creates a highly secure environment protected from external and internal scans and attacks. It creates an invisible cloud.
Though invisible, the cloud remains fully functional with NoPorts. Authorized people and services are able to easily access the cloud, and to send and receive end-to-end encrypted communications.

“This is an important milestone,” said Barbara Tallent, CEO of Atsign. “To be able to protect your data and make it invisible from even the cloud provider, is the future of security. The invisibility of our cloud on GCP underscores the power of NoPorts to deliver the most secure and private communication platform available.”
Built on Zero Trust
NoPorts is built on Atsign’s zero-trust infrastructure, the atPlatform. This secure foundation ensures that only cryptographically authenticated devices or people can access the invisible cloud. This eliminates the need for traditional perimeter defenses and establishes a robust trust model for all interactions.
This announcement further solidifies Atsign’s position as a leader in secure communication and data privacy. The company’s innovative technology is transforming how individuals and organizations interact online, empowering them to take control of their data and communicate with confidence.
