Reinforcing Security Features for Next-Gen Cloud
by Priti Shetti Technical coordinatorNew cloud services demand new security
solutions. The evolving cloud landscape is paving the way for modern and more
sophisticated technology. Among the advancing infrastructure, the security
features need to upgrade as well. The traditional security functions such as
firewall and other endpoint protection have turned rather incapable to face the
cumbersome challenges. Cloud service providers need to adopt new technologies
by upgrading the conventional safety components that can offer better
protection against the uncertainty.
Read on to find out the must-have security features for the next-gen cloud:
Virtual Security Service
If
you require application-level security and complete virtualized firewalls,
virtual services can be the right fit. It gives direct access and control to
incoming, outgoing and intra-VM traffic that lets you have a comprehensive
insight to the traffic flow. In addition, it also provides optimized anti-virus
software and even round-the-clock surveillance.
Clientless Security
Clientless
protection is directly connected with the basic hypervisor that enhances the
capability of the virtual environment to perform faster scans and also organize
the intrusion detection. The best part being, you can do all the aforementioned
operations without compromising the performance.
Consolidating network traffic with security elements
Aside
from developing multi-tenant and application-centric protection, clients can
monitor and manage the intra-VM network traffic. When you integrate the traffic
with security features, you not only safeguard the networks, but maintain the
availability of the security layers. So even you're processing a live VM
migration, you'll do it safely because the security tends to stay on and keep
functioning.
Management
and direct visibility
In
order to ensure the efficiency of the security platform, data center providers
need to get a complete management and visibility feature. In addition to all
the crucial aspects of next-gen security, management is capable of creating
unified visibility. Besides, it also gives you the potentiality to analyze and
audit the logs, while also keep a check on the entire security infrastructure.
Amalgamating management with the virtual environment allow the IT operators to
remain proactive and constantly monitor the security boundaries.
Next-gen
endpoint security for cloud clients
Next-gen
security options offered by some companies take over most conventional
techniques with the modern approaches. An example of one such technology is the
machine-learning algorithm that audits a host of file attributes to identify to
what extend a specific document is corrupted. What makes it different from the
traditional techniques is its ability of analyzing and identifying new and
hidden threats that is quiet not possible with the counterpart.
By implementing the security features, you'll create a more distributed environment that can support complex workloads. After upgrading your cloud and virtual environment with new, advanced solutions, you’ll also require to add more powerful, next-gen safety that would improve end-user experience, provide better control and ultimately boost overall performance.
