Regardless of the type of hosting you're using – dedicated or cloud – it's important to take network interface security seriously. Most often, threats from the internet are the only ones mentioned. However, if you share a private network with other customers, you have just as much risk on that interface.
Many cloud providers, including Rackspace, allow you access to a private network environment where you can exchange data with other instances or other services offered by the provider. The convenience of this access comes with a price: other instances can access your instance on the private network just as easily as they could on the public interface.
Major Hayden, Linux Systems Engineer here at Rackspace has put together some tips for you to consider when using the private network and you can review them online.
