As of now, big tech giants are providing cloud services to various industries as it is their essential policy to secure the architecture and enterprise data. With the increase in demand for cloud computing technologies, many tech giants are providing cloud automation services like Amazon Web Service (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), IBM, SAP, Cloudera, and more. In the cloud infrastructure, the enterprise’s cyber security aspects come as one of the biggest digital transformation challenges. The serverless computing aspects are more delegated to secure cyber security services and policies, which helps prevent data breaches, cyber-attacks, and other unusual cyber theft activities. This blog includes important cloud security parameters that should be used on various cloud platforms and services. Since the 1960s, cloud computing concepts have been introduced by researchers and computer scientists. Due to several loopholes and less computing power in the cloud infrastructure, some huge potential clients and organizations are not adapting to the cloud approach. To overcome this hurdle, in 2006, Amazon launched its cloud platform named AWS (Amazon Web Services), from which the cloud revolution started. This helped to solve loopholes that included analysis of policy and architecture of specific cloud platforms, their comparison, and cyber security aspects. Cloud computing undoubtedly delivers exceptionally healthy service to the user, but still, many enterprises do not support cloud computing services because of security constraints. The main security consequences are data security and privacy protection. This security dilemma hinders the managers, customers, or clients from reinforcing the services provided by cloud computing technologies. There should be a faithful and hopeful relationship of trust between customers and managers before availing of any cloud service. The official team must have the certified management team’s commitment to protecting the security risks to secure cloud data. There are lots of risks consolidated with the cloud computing architecture framework. A few of them are: Cloud computing is the virtual environment for the customer which is using the cloud services. It will provide the data to the cloud without being informed about the physical location of the data. The data can be there with lots of other data on the cloud. So the essential provision that storage providers must have are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A cloud-based model should be implemented with specific hidden parameters, including firewall restrictions, strong cyber policies, inbound/outbound tracking, encryption and decryption of data, etc. This article provides complete detail of all these parameters in the below-mentioned sections. It also includes pros and cons comparisons based on different cloud provider platforms like AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM, SAP, etc.
