Cloud computing needs to make security a priority

Cloud computing is an emerging technology system that also offers new business opportunities, the fourth it revolution following mainframes, PCs and the Internet.
　　
There have been more and more discussions about cloud computing in recent years. Cloud preachers tell people that "cloud" means unprecedented convenience and value. However, in practical applications, the "cloud" of doubt has not been dispelled.
　　
To best understand the potential risks and the rewards of the business, you should try to find opportunities to enhance communication and communication with the security team as much as possible, says Penny, a consultant at Forrester Research.
　　
"Security and compliance needs to be properly interpreted," says Penny. Business executives must understand the importance of security and measure the level of risk to develop the budget needed to mitigate those risks.
　　
Migrate to the cloud integrate the security domain enterprise goals in a more sustainable manner by formalizing the risk assessment function through the Security Council. The Security Council can help companies assess risk and provide budget proposals that conform to the corporate strategy.
　　
You should also pay close attention to the security innovations that come from the rapid growth of different security services and vendor partnerships in the cloud. Amazon's partner, DOME9, has solved a special cloud technology problem-shutting down the security shell (SSH) and other cloud server ports (when they are not in use), so that attackers who have logged in to the cloud cannot access it.
　　
"Within the enterprise," said Davemeizlik, vice president of marketing at DOME9. The default settings for devices such as the security shell and cloud server ports are turned on, but when they are on the cloud, they should be turned off if they are not used, and you cannot rely on the cloud provider to dispose of your servers every time.
　　
Cloud computing may pose some risks, but as security innovation progresses, these risks may gradually diminish. "Even today, the security of cloud services is not the most worrying issue for the corporate Security team, like the other IT trends such as smartphones or social media sprawl," says Penny of Forrester. For the spread of the cloud, the ultimate security problem will be resolved over time.
