Cloud Computing & Server Security
Empowering businesses with scalable infrastructure and robust security
Cloud Computing Services
IaaS
Infrastructure as a Service
Provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. Includes virtual machines, storage, networks, and operating systems. Examples: AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machines, Google Compute Engine.
PaaS
Platform as a Service
Provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without dealing with infrastructure. Includes development tools, database management, and business intelligence services.
SaaS
Software as a Service
Delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis. Users access applications through web browsers without installation. Examples: Gmail, Salesforce, Office 365.
Public Cloud
Shared Infrastructure
Cloud services delivered over the public internet and shared across organizations. Offers cost-effectiveness and scalability. Managed by cloud service providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Private Cloud
Dedicated Infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure exclusively used by a single organization. Provides enhanced security, control, and compliance. Can be hosted on-premises or by a third-party provider.
Hybrid Cloud
Best of Both Worlds
Combines public and private cloud infrastructure, allowing data and applications to be shared between them. Provides flexibility, optimization, and cost-efficiency while maintaining security.
Serverless Computing
Function as a Service (FaaS)
Cloud computing execution model where providers manage server infrastructure. Developers write and deploy code without worrying about servers. Pay only for compute time used.
Containerization
Docker & Kubernetes
Packages applications with dependencies into containers for consistent deployment across environments. Kubernetes orchestrates containerized applications at scale, enabling efficient resource utilization.
Server Security - Defense in Depth
Application Security
WAF, Input Validation, Secure Coding, API Security
Data Protection
Encryption at Rest, TLS/SSL, Data Classification
Identity & Access
IAM, MFA, SSO, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Network Security
Firewalls, VPN, DDoS Protection, Network Segmentation
Infrastructure Security
Hardening, Patch Management, Intrusion Detection
Monitoring & Logging
SIEM, Security Logs, Threat Detection, Auditing
Physical Security
Data Center Security, Access Controls, Redundancy
Evolution of Cloud Computing
Mainframe Computing
The concept of time-sharing and utility computing emerged, where multiple users could access computing resources from remote terminals. This laid the foundation for cloud computing.
SaaS Emergence
Salesforce.com pioneered the Software as a Service model, delivering enterprise applications via the internet, revolutionizing how businesses use software.
AWS Launch
Amazon Web Services launched Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), making infrastructure services available on-demand and marking the birth of modern IaaS.
Cloud Security Focus
As cloud adoption grew, security concerns led to the development of comprehensive security frameworks, compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001), and shared responsibility models.
Container Revolution
Docker popularized containerization, and Kubernetes emerged as the leading orchestration platform, enabling efficient cloud-native application deployment and management.
Multi-Cloud Era
Enterprises adopt multi-cloud and hybrid strategies, leveraging edge computing, serverless architectures, and AI-powered security solutions for enhanced performance and security.
