Beyond the great players that we can now visualize the cloud market, the issue of privacy is important for the entire software industry, as more technologies that were previously protagonists on a company server today are pushed to the cloud.
Mobile devices have fueled greater demand for data storage in the cloud, but security is, ironically, the next big barrier that must be achieved in the cloud.
We are challenged to filter traffic to block not only denial of service, all kinds of exploits based on traffic analysis, based exploits including the recent vulnerability Shellshock.
The ability to quickly scale in computing power and network capacity in the cloud could create an ideal virtual firewalls to allow dynamic intrusion detection scenario and the same kind of deep packet inspection and analysis of network traffic NSA uses its own global distributed cloud.
Every part of architecture of a cloud model presents its own challenges to security and privacy.
The most obvious target is cloud storage, where better use of encryption could provide greater protection.
The protection of data passing through the cloud, such as email and instant messaging, requires reliable tools to identify the user and requires a solid control of digital certificates to ensure our operation.
Working safely within the infrastructure of cloud computing and applications is the border that all seek to achieve.
One way to ensure the privacy of the applications in the cloud would break data processing components and systems across multiple vendors. A data model such as that used Hadoop.
That way, no one has the tools to put the security of the system parts.
This would have a Trusted Platform Model to help ensure that each component of a distributed cloud application is what it says, not a malicious service posing as a legitimate one.
The agile companies are becoming more demanding day in speed and responsiveness, but only survive that apply safety as a value.
