Cybersecurity: An Analysis of the Protection Mechanisms in a Cloud-centered Environment

摘要

The numerous threats and data exfiltration that has taken place in our network require that significant effort is made to ensure the safety of organizational data and equipment. The diverse nature of emerging technologies and bring your own devices (BYOD), smartphones and so on makes it challenging to efficiently secure the traditional networks. However, the popularity resulting from low-cost service offerings in cloud computing and the dispersed nature, the use of virtual machines in cloud networks makes it attractive and perhaps safer than the regular networks. There is a certain level of the layer of abstraction with cloud computing, such as community cloud, distributed or hidden identity and the lack of control makes it appear impenetrable. The key to cybersecurity is for the protection of information in computer systems to protect and guide the architectural structures that are used to support the system or database. The protection of information in computer systems requires that protection mechanisms should guide the architectural structures that are used to support the system or database.
