Protecting data security in the cloud who has the final say: Technology or system?

"Sadie Network-it Technology" in this year, at home, about cloud computing voice this time. It industry manufacturers if they do not let their products and clouds on the top, almost will feel very embarrassed, not with the times, it is really "out". You see, now even mobile phones are playing "cloud mobile phone" it!

However, cloud computing sound is very hot, but the crowd is still not much, users are most worried about the data security problem in the cloud. To think about it, all the data on the enterprise is in the cloud, and the application of virtualization technology makes it impossible to know exactly where your data is on a cloud server every day. Therefore, the security of cloud computing, the most important is still the data security problem.

Trend Technology Global CEO Chen Yihua has said, "the company's important data processing and storage servers, whether physical, virtual, or future cloud, do a good job of the server itself security, such as server firewall, anti-shocking, dozen patch." Establish a mechanism to monitor the access of the operational side to the company's data. These two are good, the road of the cloud, safe to period! ”

Through the phenomenon of the essence of cloud computing, the underlying physical media is still the server, the security of the server improved, stored in the server data security can be improved. So need to set up a firewall in front of the server, security gateway, need to guard against hacker intrusion on the server, need to give the server operating system in time security patches.

In addition, it is also important to be able to effectively monitor the data operations of the enterprise in the cloud. In other words, in addition to technical means, the system in the cloud data security protection is also very important.

In the traditional it era, security technology is the main means to protect confidential data, because the data stored in the enterprise's own server, the system more by the enterprise as a supplementary means, or even dispensable. In the era of cloud computing, the system has become as important as technology in protecting cloud data security. IT security technology has been constantly new, but the cloud operator is trustworthy, whether it can ensure the security of its cloud system, to ensure the security of the cloud internal data, but not the technology can fully control. Chen Yihua used the popular words "where is the social ethical bottom line of cloud computing?" ”

Now most of the world's cloud operators are trying to promote their own cloud computing services, on the one hand, in terms of clearly labeled not to guarantee the security of user data in the cloud. The better news is that cloud operators are now working with IT security vendors to address the security of cloud and cloud user data in a variety of ways.

Of course, if an enterprise wants to enjoy the services of cloud computing as soon as possible, also want to protect their data security, then you can consider all kinds of enterprise IT applications and non-confidential data placed in the cloud, confidential data and customer information can be placed in the private cloud within the enterprise, through this hybrid cloud to solve the security of data in the cloud. However, a well-established regulatory regime is still necessary. Cloud computing is convenient for users, but also gives malicious attackers more opportunities to invade. An effective regulatory system allows the right users to access data that allows them to access, greatly reducing the chance of malicious intrusion, and weakening the risk of data being exposed to malicious threats.
