About Cloud Security’s architecture

This document provides information about the Cloud Security’s multi-tenant architecture and a definition of its three key levels of components.

Organization

An organization is the first level in the multi-tenant architecture of Cloud Security. Each organization is a self-contained entity that has its own set of tenants. At the organization level, there is always at least one administrator. By default, when an organization is created, it comes with one tenant associated with it.

Tenant

Every organization must have at least one tenant, and each tenant is always affiliated with one organization. Furthermore, each tenant must have at least one administrator.
