Naveen Kumar Adalagere Nemirajaiah, Channa Krishna Raju · 2024
The term “cloudified era” refers to concept of computing at remote servers to perform everyday operations which involves data storage, processing and software applications been hosted on remote servers accessed over via internet. This shift to cloud-based infrastructure extends so much profit with respect to scalability, cost-efficiency, enhanced collaboration, and remote accessibility. The cloud services providers implement typical security measures and adhere to stringent compliance standards and certifications, which improve data protection for organizations. However, businesses must still manage respective cloud work setups to address potential risks like data breaches. One major concern is the surge in ransomware and malware attacks aimed at cloud environments. Cybercriminals exploit weaknesses in VM configurations, allowing them to deploy virus that encrypts vital data and demand ransom for decryption. Furthermore, vulnerabilities to hypervisors, presents a critical security challenges as attacks are particularly damaging the core layer of virtualization technology. The rising incidence of hypervisor vulnerabilities demands ongoing vigilance and the adoption of strong security protocols to maintain the integrity and security of cloud environments. This paper examines the associated security challenges and proposes a system that enhances security measures in the current cloud-centric era.
