VP of Trend Technology Cloud security: Virtualization is just a part of cloud security

November 2-3rd, the RSA General Assembly Information Security International Forum held in Beijing for the second time, Dave Asprey, vice president of trend Technology cloud security, explained the relationship between cloud computing security and virtualization in an interview with CNET reporter.

Dave Asprey points out that cloud or infrastructure based services, or software-based services, and so on, are all virtualized to achieve, often through virtualization to form the cloud. Of course, the security of the cloud is not only the security of virtualization, but also the data in the middle of the cloud, which is to secure the data in the cloud through encryption.

Virtualization is just one aspect of cloud security, in addition to virtualization, there are other problems with cloud security, such as a potentially very complex, targeted attack that is specifically targeted at a terminal attack, causing the terminal to be hacked through the terminal into the cloud's data or cloud, This is also a very important issue to solve for cloud security.

Dave Asprey said that in the past when we were defending, it was based on parameter protection, such as protecting the network, protecting the server, and protecting the data. Now in the cloud computing environment, these things are moving, and its boundaries become more blurred.

He stressed that the most important point of cloud security is to ensure that the data is encrypted all the time, so that even if one of the virtualization level or network level is out of the question, it can provide some security if the data is always encrypted.
