How IDC protects the information security in the cloud computing age

Now has entered the cloud computing era, distributed computing, flexible billing has become possible, "resources + operation + security" is the basic services of IDC service providers, focus on resources and operation, and the relatively weak security protection of IDC service providers, how to ensure the cloud computing era of information security?

With the Mengjin of information technology, all kinds of powerful security tools are emerging, but the problem of information security is not only alleviated, but increasingly serious. Especially for IDC service providers, not only to face the traditional threat, but also to face endless, unpredictable new challenges.

However, the security problem, regardless of guise, always skips the network information security five level of the basic framework, namely, physical layer, network layer, system layer, application layer and management layer. At each level, IDC will bear a variety of challenges, solve these problems, IDC service providers can rest easy, and how to solve these problems, the right remedy is the key. At present, the server must have the attention of the security software Cloud Lock, has a comprehensive and professional protection capabilities, its combination of its own information security industry in-depth understanding of information security needs tailored, and thus by the IDC service providers of all ages. The following is a combination of these five levels, to specifically talk about IDC service providers face the main threat and server security protection software Cloud Lock is how to help solve these security threats.

A threat from the physical layer

IDC Room equipment belongs to the high-precision equipment, the requirements of the surrounding environment is very high, such as temperature, humidity, power, dust, fire anti-theft, and so on, now with the IDC service providers to the computer room hardware investment is increasing, these problems have been greatly improved, but such problems can not be eradicated, IDC room is still facing the above threats. Computer room through strengthening management, add equipment can greatly reduce such safety risks, ensure the smooth operation of the computer room.

Ii. threats from the network layer

In the network layer, intruders generally use the pre attack detection, eavesdropping and other collection of information, and then use IP spoofing, Denial-of-service attacks, CC attacks, tampering, stack overflow and other means to attack. To IDC service providers, the network layer security mainly has the data transmission security, the network resources access control security, the network flaw detection, the network intrusion detection and so on.

Under normal circumstances, the use of firewalls can only achieve access control based on the network layer, initially to protect against network external security threats, can not 100% guarantee to prevent hackers into the key parts or servers, so IDC room needs more comprehensive security protection means.

Cloud Lock has a powerful Web Access control technology and Web site vulnerability protection capabilities, through the SQL injection, XSS cross-site scripting, overflow attack protection, to prevent hackers through the Web site vulnerabilities intrusion server, tamper with Web pages and databases, hanging horses, hanging dark chain, hanging ads and other behavior.

In the above attack, CC attack is the most painful way to IDC service providers, this attack using the replacement of IP proxy tools and some IP agent a primary, intermediate level of computer users can implement the attack, and the installation of cloud lock, cloud lock can intelligently identify and intercept cc and slow connection attack requests, To ensure the normal service capacity of the website.

At the same time, sensitive word filter is also a headache IDC service providers, the Internet will often be released pornographic, reactionary remarks or links, once the network police monitoring, the site will be punished, so whether the webmaster or IDC service providers are urgently needed a means to prevent the online release of these remarks, and the sensitive content filtering mechanism of cloud lock can filter the content that the website user submits effectively, prevent the user to submit pornography and reactionary speech, avoid unnecessary legal risk.

Iii. threats from the system layer

Operating systems have different degrees of security vulnerabilities, some widely used operating systems such as windows its vulnerabilities are widely circulated, almost every day has the operating system itself security vulnerabilities were found, and the management of the operating system unreasonable configuration, will make the operating system face a huge security threat. Because all applications and security measures rely on the operating system to provide low-level support, operating system vulnerabilities or improper configuration can cause the entire security system to crash. For IDC service providers, loopholes in the operating system is like a water basket, as long as a loophole exists, it can not play, so the full reinforcement of the operating system is particularly necessary. Currently has a real sense of the operating system to strengthen the software is rare, cloud lock as the preferred choice, from the core system layer to protect the server security.

Yun Yu is based on the system core reinforcement technology to build, to protect more than 100 operating system security weak points, strong operating system, enhance the operating system itself against malicious code. Through the kernel drive to the operating system key files, directories, the location of the startup items, immune virus, Trojan, backdoor attacks, to prevent illegal add accounts, closed operating system core, to prevent rootkit. It is worth mentioning that Cloud lock using the APEC level of operating system protection technology, is the National server security Protection technology achievements for the first time to the civil transformation, with the most powerful protection capabilities, the technology as a cloud lock developers-pepper Map technology core technology, is widely used in military, government and other areas of high security requirements, At the 2014 APEC summit in Beijing, the organizers adopted the relevant technology to ensure the information security of the Conference server.

Iv. threats from the application layer

In the application tier, the Web server is the primary source of vulnerability, either by configuring the server or by writing Web programs. IDC service providers need to use a variety of security defense measures to protect the Web server security, as far as possible to plug any existing loopholes, create a security environment. In contrast, web sandbox technology is arguably the safest solution.

Yun Yu compatible with IIS, Apache, original web sandbox technology, can isolate Web services applications in a restricted environment, effectively resist the advanced attack methods such as apt, to prevent malicious software from causing network chaos. Through the ban on the Web Trojan commonly used system components, so that the Web Trojan failure, reduce the threat of web Trojan, to prevent hackers through the Web site to control the Trojan; NET security mode, improve the security run level of. NET programs, and prevent the Web server process from performing dangerous actions, such as prohibiting execution of Cmd.exe, and so on.

V. Threats from management

Because the firewall conventional defense means can only defend against the network layer attack, some can bypass or cheat the firewall to enter the internal core network hacker, can impersonate the administrator to the server to carry on each kind of illegal operation, or the hacker through the brute force to obtain the administrator password after the remote login server. The above situation is rare for IDC service providers, but it is the most worrying, because once it happens, it will be the destruction level, so it is important to give full attention to it. The best solution is to set login protection through cloud lock, restrict access to IP, so that administrators no longer a single large. In this way, even if hackers steal the server username password, there is cloud lock protection can not tamper with or damage the operating system and Web pages.

In addition, the cloud locks the original PC-side remote management, monitoring Server mode (c/S architecture), can greatly improve the convenience of administrator management. Cloud Lock can display and monitor the usage of CPU and memory resource of IIS and Apache Web server in real time, as well as the number of concurrent connections and throughput of the website, and alarm when exceeding the specified threshold, so that the administrator can know the performance of the website, and do the first time to discover the security hidden trouble.

Of course, IDC service providers face the information security threats far more than these, and the function of cloud lock is far more than this, cloud lock in addition to the above four levels to help IDC server, but also has file upload services, disk monitoring, flow monitoring and complete protection monitoring log.

Predictably, in the era of cloud computing, IDC How to protect information security, is still a difficult problem, attack and defense will never end, but with the cloud lock, this problem can be a very good solution.
