Shen: Building a cloud computing center cannot ignore information security

Xinhua Beijing, December 27 (reporter Chishen, Kangaka) academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering Shen held the sixth annual government Industry Information Conference on 27th, said that at present, many cities in China started the Cloud Computing center construction, but the information security problem did not cause enough attention, it is necessary to strengthen the information security system construction.

Shen said that at present, the construction of cloud computing Center as a major industrial project, many places set the value of Bai, but there is a general lack of attention to information security issues. In cloud computing mode, users do not need to know how to manage the infrastructure that supports cloud computing, the computing platform is virtualized and there are more security risks. There are seven types of security issues in cloud computing, including data loss, shared technology vulnerabilities, poor supplier reliability assessment, and weak identity authentication mechanisms.

Ministry of Public Security information Safety Grade Protection Evaluation Center, assistant researcher Taoyuan, under the traditional technical conditions, are generally enterprises and institutions operating information systems, information security by the unit responsible. However, in the cloud computing mode, the operation of business data and the right to use separation, access to data has increased significantly, if there is data leakage or illegal use, the impact of more scope, more harm. At present, the information security protection system for cloud computing is immature, still in the research and exploration stage, if the matching information security protection technology can not be followed up, cloud computing will face serious information security risks.

Shen suggested that everywhere in the cloud computing center construction, should take into account information security issues, from the technical and management level to improve the safety protection system to ensure that the provision of safe "cloud services."
