+  Nomad relies on both a lightweight gossip mechanism and an RPC system to
+  provide various features. Both of the systems have different security
+  mechanisms that stem from their designs. However, the security mechanisms of
+  Nomad have a common goal: to provide confidentiality, integrity, and
+  authentication.
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Nomad is a flexible workload orchestrator to deploy and manage any containerized
+or legacy application using a single, unified workflow. It can run diverse
+workloads including Docker, non-containerized, microservice, and batch
+applications.
+
+Nomad utilizes a lightweight gossip and RPC system, [similar to
+Consul](https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/security.html), which provides
+various essential features. Both of these systems provide security mechanisms
+which should be utilized to help provide [confidentiality, integrity and
+authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_security).
+
+Using defense in depth is crucial for cluster security, and deployment
+requirements may differ drastically depending on your use case. Further security
+features for multi-tenant deployments are offered exclusively in the enterprise
+version. This documentation may need to be adapted to your deployment situation,
+but the general mechanisms for a secure Nomad deployment revolve around:
+
+* **[mTLS](/guides/security/securing-nomad.html)** -
+    Mutual authorization of both the TLS server and client x509 certificates
+    prevents internal abuse by preventing unauthorized access to network
+    components within the cluster.
+
+* **[ACLs](/guides/security/acl.html)** - Allow for
+    roles to be applied to authorized connections by granting capabilities for a
+    token.
+
+* **[Namespaces](/docs/enterprise/index.html#namespaces)**
+    (**Enterprise Only**) - Access to read and write to a Namepsace can be
+    controlled to allow for granular access to job information managed within a
+    multi-tenant cluster.
+
+* **[Sentinel Policies](/docs/enterprise/index.html#sentinel-policies)**
+    (**Enterprise Only**) - Sentinel policies allow for granular control over
+    components such as task drivers within a cluster.
+
+### Personas
+
+When thinking about Nomad, it helps to consider the following types of base
+personas when managing the security requirements for the cluster deployment. The
+granularity may change depending on your team’s use case where rigorous roles
+can be accurately defined and managed using the [Nomad backend secret engine for
+Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/secrets/nomad/index.html). This is
+described further with getting started steps using a development server
+[here](/guides/security/acl.html#vault-integration).
+
+It’s super important to note that there's no traditional concept of a user
+within Nomad itself.
+
+* **System Administrator** - This is someone who has access to the underlying
+    infrastructure to a Nomad cluster. Often she has access to SSH or RDP
+    directly into a server within a cluster through a bastion host. Ultimately
+    they have read, write and execute permissions for the actual Nomad binary.
+    This binary is the same for server and client nodes using different
+    configuration files. These users potentially have something like sudo,
+    administrative, or some other super-user access to the underlying compute
+    resource. Users like these are essentially totally trusted by Nomad as they
+    have administrative rights to the system and can start or stop the agent.
+
+* **Nomad Administrator** - This is someone ( probably the same **System
+    Administrator** ) who has access to define the Nomad agent configurations
+    for servers and clients. They also have total rights to all of the parts in
+    the Nomad system including the ability to start and stop all jobs within a
+    cluster.
+
+* **Nomad Operator** - This is someone who likely has selective access with
+    restricted capabilities to manage jobs applicable to their namespace within
+    a cluster.
+
+* **User** - This is someone who is a user of an application being run on the
+    system. In some cases applications may be public facing and exposed to the
+    internet such as a web server. This is someone who shouldn’t have any
+    network access to the Nomad server API.
+
+### Secure Configuration
+
+Nomad’s security model is applicable only if all parts of the system are running
+with a secure configuration; it is not secure-by-default. Without the following
+mechanisms enabled in Nomad’s configuration, it may be possible to abuse access
+to a cluster. Like all security considerations, one must appropriately determine
+what concerns they have for their environment and adapt to these security
+recommendations accordingly.
+
+#### Requirements
+
+* **[mTLS enabled](/guides/security/securing-nomad.html)**
+    - Mutual TLS ( mTLS ) enables [mutual
+    authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_authentication) with
+    security properties to prevent the following problems:
+
+  * Unauthorized access because both server and clients must provide valid TLS
+    [X.509](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509) certificates signed by the same
+    valid [CA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority) in order to
+    communicate within the cluster.
+
+  * Observing or tampering communication between nodes is thwarted due to the
+    traffic being encrypted using the well known network security protocol
+    [TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security) version 1.2,
+    with a [configurable minimal
+    version](/docs/configuration/tls.html#tls_min_version).
+    Both server and client agents must be configured to validate each other's
+    certificates to ensure mTLS is actually enabled. This requires appropriate
+    certificates to be distributed to servers, clients, machines, or operators
+    for things like CLI usage. It is recommended to use
+    [Vault](/guides/security/vault-pki-integration.html)
+    to securely manage the certificate creation and rotation for nodes.
+
+  * Agent role misconfiguration is prevented using the X.509
+    [SAN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject_Alternative_Name) extension.
+    This is essentially a domain name that is used to identify and verify a
+    node’s region and role name are configured as expected ( e.g.
+    `client.us-east.nomad` ).
+
+  * Using the previously mentioned role name prevents maliciously masquerading
+    as a server or client node, and allows other services to be signed easily by
+    the same CA. This also avoids any potential pitfalls with certificates using
+    the IP or Hostname of nodes within a cluster.
+
+* **[ACLs enabled](/guides/security/acl.html)** - The
+    access control list (ACL) system provides a capability-based control
+    mechanism for Nomad administrators allowing for custom roles ( typically
+    within Vault ) to be tied to an individual human or machine operator
+    identity. This allows for access to capabilities within the cluster to be
+    restricted to specific users.
+
+* **[Sentinel Policies](/guides/governance-and-policy/sentinel/sentinel-policy.html)**
+    (**Enterprise Only**) - [Sentinel](https://www.hashicorp.com/sentinel/) is
+    a feature which enables
+    [policy-as-code](https://docs.hashicorp.com/sentinel/concepts/policy-as-code/)
+    to enforce further restrictions on operators. This is used to augment the
+    built-in ACL system for fine-grained control over jobs.
+
+* **[Namespaces](/guides/governance-and-policy/namespaces.html)**
+    (**Enterprise Only**) - This feature allows for a cluster to be shared by
+    multiple teams within a company. Using this logical separation is important
+    for multi-tenant clusters to prevent users without access to that namespace
+    from conflicting with each other. This requires ACLs to be enabled in order
+    to be enforced.
+
+* **[Resource Quotas](/guides/governance-and-policy/quotas.html)**
+    (**Enterprise Only**) - Can limit a namespace’s access to the underlying
+    compute resources in the cluster by setting upper-limits for operators.
+    Access to these resource quotas can be managed via ACLs to ensure read-only
+    access for operators so they can’t just change their quotas.
+
+#### Recommendations
+
+The following are security recommendations that can help significantly improve
+the security of your cluster depending on your use case. We recommend always
+practicing defense in depth when architecting the security mechanisms for your
+environment.
+
+* **[Rotate Credentials](/docs/job-specification/vault.html)** -
+    Using something like [Vault](/docs/vault-integration/index.html) to
+    create and manage dynamic, rotated credentials is highly recommended to
+    prevent secrets from being easily exposed within the [job
+    specification](/docs/job-specification/index.html)
+    itself which may be leaked into version control or otherwise be accidently
+    stored on disk on an operator’s local machine. It is also possible to
+    [integrate with Vault’s PKI secret engine](/guides/security/vault-pki-integration.html)
+    to automatically generate and renew dynamic, unique X.509 certificates for
+    each Nomad node with a short
+    [TTL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_to_live).
+
+* **[Running without Root](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nomad-tool/pSyMwC_FSFA)** -
+    Certain features of Nomad can be used without needing to run the Nomad agent
+    server or client as the `root` user. Instead you can granularly assign the
+    appropriate capabilities in various ways for your Nomad agents. For example:
+    Nomad servers only require access to the data directory; it is possible to
+    use Nomad to orchestrate Docker containers by adding a non-root `nomad` user
+    to the `docker` group to access the [default unix
+    socket](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/#daemon-socket-option).
+
+* **Containers with Sandbox Runtimes** - In some situations, such as running
+    untrusted code as a service, it may be worth considering using different
+    container runtimes such as [gVisor](https://gvisor.dev/) or [Kata
+    Containers](https://katacontainers.io/). These types of runtimes provide
+    sandboxing features which help prevent raw access to the underlying shared
+    kernel for other containers and the Nomad client agent itself.
+
+* **[Disable Unused Drivers](/docs/configuration/client#driver-blacklist)** -
+    Each driver provides different degrees of isolation, and bugs may allow
+    unintended privilege escalation. If a task driver is not needed, you can
+    disable it to reduce risk.
+
+* **Linux Security Modules** - Use of security modules that can be directly
+    integrated into operating systems such as AppArmor, SElinux, and Seccomp on
+    both the Nomad hosts and applied to containers for an extra layer of
+    security. Seccomp profiles are able to be passed directly to containers
+    using the
+    **[security_opt](/docs/drivers/docker.html#security_opt)**
+    parameter available in the default [Docker
+    driver](/docs/drivers/docker.html).
+
+* **[Service Mesh](https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/service-mesh-microservices-networking)** -
+    Integrating service mesh technologies such as
+    **[Consul](https://www.consul.io/)** can be extremely useful for limiting
+    and efficiently load balancing network connectivity within a cluster.
+
+### Threat Model
+
+The following are parts of the Nomad threat model:
+
+* **Nomad agent-to-agent communication** - Transport encryption for
+    agent-to-agent communication is required to prevent eavesdropping. TCP and
+    UDP based protocols within Nomad provide different mechanisms for enabling
+    encryption including symmetric (shared gossip encryption keys) and
+    asymmetric keys (TLS).
+
+* **Tampering of data in transit** - Any tampering should be detectable via mTLS
+    and cause Nomad to avoid processing the request.
+
+* **Access to data without authentication or authorization** - Requests to the
+    server should be authenticated and authorized using mTLS and ACLs
+    respectively.
+
+* **State modification or corruption due to malicious messages** - Improperly
+    formatted messages are discarded while properly formatted messages require
+    authentication and authorization.
+
+* **Non-server members accessing raw data** - All servers that join the cluster
+    require proper authentication and authorization in order to begin
+    participating in Raft. All data in Raft should be encrypted with TLS.
+
+* **Denial of Service against a node** - DoS attacks against a single node
+    should not compromise the security posture of Nomad.
+
+The following are not part of the threat model for server agents:
+
+* **Access (read or write) to the Nomad data directory** - Information about the
+    jobs managed by Nomad is persisted to a server’s data directory.
+
+* **Access (read or write) to the Nomad configuration directory** - Access to
+    Nomad’s configuration file(s) directory can enable and disable features for
+    a cluster.
+
+* **Memory access to a running Nomad server agent** - Direct access to the
+    memory of the Nomad server agent process ( usually requiring a shell on the
+    system through various means ) results in almost all aspects of the agent
+    being compromised including access to certificates and other secrets.
+
+The following are not part of the threat model for client agents:
+
+* **Access (read or write) to the Nomad data directory** - Information about the
+    allocations scheduled to a Nomad client is persisted to its data directory.
+    This would include any secrets in any of the allocation’s file systems.
+
+* **Access (read or write) to the Nomad configuration directory** - Access to a
+    client’s configuration file can enable and disable features for a client
+    including insecure drivers such as
+    [raw_exec](/docs/drivers/raw_exec.html).
+
+* **Memory access to a running Nomad client agent** - Direct access to the
+    memory of the Nomad client agent process allows an attack to extract secrets
+    from clients such as Vault tokens.
+
+* **Lax Client Driver Sandbox** - Drivers may allow some privileged operations,
+    e.g. filesystem access to configuration directories, or raw accesses to host
+    devices. Such privileges can be used to facilitate compromise other workloads,
+    or cause denial-of-service attacks.
+
+#### Internal Threats
+
+* **Operator** - Someone with a valid mTLS cert and ACL token may still be a
+    threat to your cluster in certain situations, especially in multi-team
+    cluster deployments. They may accidentally or intentionally use a malicious
+    jobspec to harm a cluster which can help be protected against using
+    Namespaces and Sentinel policies.
+
+* **Workload** - Workloads may have host network access within a cluster which
+    can lead to SSRF due to application security issues outside of the scope of
+    Nomad which may lead to internal access within the cluster. Using mTLS, ACLs
+    and Sentinel policies together can add layers of protection against
+    malicious workloads.
+
+* **RPC / API Access** - RPC and HTTP API endpoints without mTLS can expose
+    clusters to abuse within the cluster from malicious workloads.
+
+* **Client driver** - Drivers implement various workload types for a cluster,
+    and the backend configuration of these drivers should be considered to
+    implement defense in depth. For example, a custom Docker driver that limits
+    the ability to mount the host file system may be subverted by network access
+    to an exposed Docker daemon API through other means such as the raw_exec
+    driver.
+
+
+#### External Threats
+
+There are two main components to consider to for external threats in a Nomad cluster:
+
+* **Server agent** - Internal cluster leader elections and replication is
+    managed via Raft between server agents encrypted in transit. However,
+    information about the server is stored unencrypted at rest in the agent’s
+    data directory. This information may contain information such as ACL tokens
+    and TLS certificates.
+
+* **Client agent** - Client-to-server communication within a cluster is
+    encrypted and authenticated using mTLS. Information about the allocations on
+    a client node is unencrypted in the agent’s data and configuration
+    directory.
