Cloud Application Security Best Practices

Cloud computing is useful because it provides a new way for it to leverage shared resources to maximize productivity and cut spending. But the new approach also poses new threats. How do we minimize the risk of such an environment? The Cloud Security alliance and Safecode work together to develop a set of best practices for application development to meet the unique security requirements of cloud computing. Eventually they released the best practices for cloud application security development, which lists ways to develop secure code in a cloud environment. "In order for cloud computing to play its real potential, users and suppliers are ...

Oscar-winning actress photos of bulk leakage, UPS user information stolen, mobile devices have security vulnerabilities, many security risks caused people's concern. The development of the Internet, Google Glasses, smart watches, such as wearable equipment has been the advent of the industry's hot debate, they bring convenience at the same time also violate the user's privacy. By the National Computer Network emergency Treatment Coordination Center, China Information Security Evaluation Center, National Computer virus Emergency treatment center and China Internet Association guidance, 360 Internet Security Center and China Internet Association Network and Information Security Work Committee sponsored by China Internet Security ...

Cloud based applications are now widely used and are growing at an alarming rate. Because cloud-based applications can be accessed over the Internet and accessible to anyone anywhere, the security of the application becomes particularly important. 　　This is why businesses that create and manage cloud-based applications must ensure that every layer of the application infrastructure that customers trust is secure. Imagine if Google's Gmail was hacked, hackers can read the content of the user's mail, what will be the consequences? Not only Google's voice ...

This article describes the challenges of automating effective application security policies, illustrates the benefits of model-driven security methods for security policy automation, and then shows how to automate cloud application security policies. Security is an essential element of using cloud technology, and lack of security often hinders the adoption of cloud technology. However, as security policy and compliance complexity, it complexity, and it agility increase, the task of translating security policies into security implementations becomes more time-consuming, repetitive, expensive, and error-prone, and can easily increase the security workload of end-user organizations. Automation can help ...

Introduction Cloud application developers and DevOps have successfully developed tens of thousands of applications for IaaS (Amazon AWS, Rackspace, etc.) and PAAs (Azure, Google App Engine, Cloud Foundry, etc.) platforms. These platforms provide basic security mechanisms such as authentication, Dos attack defense, firewall policy Management, logging, basic user and account management, but security concerns remain the primary obstacle to enterprise cloud implementations. Security concerns for the cloud, deploying from a secure configuration ...

According to CompTIA, the IT trade association, 80% of businesses today claim that they are using some form of cloud solution that includes virtual machines that can be enabled on demand, as well as easy-to-buy, easy-to-use application. Laura Maio, manager of customer solutions at Trend Micro, believes there are currently three key trends driving the use and deployment of the cloud: The first trend is that businesses use the public cloud as a natural extension of their internal environment, and the second trend is for businesses Of non-IT business departments using public cloud can access services faster ...

At present, more and more market data are dispelling doubts about the "cloud" concept, and a growing number of successful deployment cases show that cloud computing is no longer a disembodied vapor floating overhead. 　　Cloud-Based security services (cloud-based) are emerging, with more and more enterprise users becoming beneficiaries of cloud security services. Then, the domestic telecom operators in the cloud computing and cloud security, what unique insights and views, and what practice? This article according to operator expert in CSA 2010 ...

Bernard Golden, chief executive of Hyperstratus Consulting, wrote that one after another survey showed that security is the most worrying issue for potential users of public cloud computing. For example, a April 2010 survey found that more than 45% of respondents said cloud computing risks outweigh the benefits. A survey conducted by CAS and Ponemon Cato also found that users have such concerns. However, they also found that, despite the user's doubts, cloud applications were being deployed. Similar to ...

Public cloud computing security--the most worrying problem for potential users One example of the public cloud computing security problem is that a April 2010 survey found that more than 45% of respondents thought cloud computing risks outweighed earnings. A survey conducted by CAS and Ponemon Cato also found that users have such concerns. However, they also found that, despite the user's doubts, cloud applications were being deployed. The continued release of similar surveys and results suggests that mistrust of cloud computing security continues. Admittedly, most of the security of cloud computing ...
