Threats in Cloud Computing System and Security Enhancement

Abstract

Background: Cloud computing (CC) is a disruptive computing paradigm that uses networked systems, notably the Internet, to provide shared resources and services. Its use has been widespread, owing partly to its promise to reduce computation costs. Objective: This study aims to get into the critical security concerns that cloud computing poses, and to provide unique solutions to these difficulties. Methods: By examining the operational procedures and infrastructure of data centers - the key suppliers of cloud services - this article elaborates on the particular risks that cloud-based operations bring. The study underlines the need of increased security, particularly considering the interconnection and apparent control customers have over ostensibly devoted resources. Results: Cloud computing offers a variety of advantages, including on-demand service delivery, geographical independence, and pay-as-you-go pricing. However, its intrinsic structure creates threats to data integrity, availability, and privacy. In response, this article presents a Dynamic Secure Interconnection (DSI) architecture that divides the cloud into dynamic virtual trust zones, each with its own set of security protocols. Conclusion: As cloud computing continues to transform IT and business environments, implementing effective security measures becomes more important. The suggested DSI mechanism is a viable way to bolstering security inside cloud systems, aiming for a safer, more regulated data management environment.
