The clouds computing: identify understand secure

By Milica D. Djekic

The cloud’s computing is not that new topic in a computer science, so we would not deal with
that as being somehow emerging. It’s something that lasts a certain period of time and getting
improved as the time goes on. The important thing with this concept would be its security not
being that well developed even with the present times.

Many businesses would move to the cloud’s systems for a reason of holding the both – their
data and applications – there. Through this article, we would try to provide a good overview of
the challenges being correlated with this technology as well as discuss how we could secure
those solutions.

The quite interesting question at the beginning would be why this technology could be called the
cloud’s one. The fact is that the user’s
experience would be that he would access
data and applications through some web
location believing they would just float
around as the clouds do that on the sky.

The truth is those web locations would get
stored using some servers within data
centers. As everyone would know – it’s quite
easy to access your cloud’s environment
simply logging in using your username and
password.

Many cloud’s solutions such as a Twitter or
Gmail would have the quite well-developed access control which would offer you to securely
approach your account.

The cloud’s environment would get accessible through web browsers just calling that Internet
surrounding to appear.

The entire environment would get separated using many accounts and those accounts would
serve as a perfect spots for holding so many information. The cloud’s technology could get
approachable through desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones and so on.

The main challenge to this technology would be its security. Many vendors would provide the
quite good solutions to these systems, while many would still stay unprotected.
