  Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis. It provides services including software, storage and processing power. Cloud security is concerned with providing security to these cloud computing environments against cybersecurity threats. It involves technologies, policies, procedures, controls and services that secure cloud data, cloud-based systems and the infrastructure. This protects customers’ privacy as well. Cloud security can be configured according to the needs of the customers. Administration overheads are also reduced as the configurations are happening in one place. Cloud Security Implementation is a Joint Responsibility Implementing cloud security is a joint responsibility between the customer and the solution provider. There are responsibilities of the customer, responsibilities of the solution provider and responsibilities which are different according to the service model (Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as ...

  In the era of technology and digitalization, people are eager to do shopping and financial transactions online. Crytocurrencies come into play with this. What is Cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrency is a combination of ‘cryptography’ and ‘currency’ which gives the meaning of electronic money based on the principles of cryptography. Cryptocurrencies come as an alternative to traditional money. They do not exist physically and are the forms of digital money. Bitcoin is one of the earliest forms of cryptocurrency and people tend to use cryptocurrencies to sell, buy and make investments due to the easiness in using them. Cyber criminals are committing malicious activities in all kinds of digital systems and networks. So obviously, cryptocurrencies get the attention of attackers. Cryptojacking is one such way of attacking through the use of cryptocurrencies. What is Cryptojacking? Cryptojacking is unauthorized access of smart devices to mine cryptocurrency. Cyber criminals use computing p...

  With the advancement of technology, cyber threats have been evolved and put cyber security at risk. Even though there are more advanced solutions to improve security, those defensive strategies can be failed at some point. No matter how much the technology advances, cyber criminals can come up with smarter ways. This is when Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in to play.   AI can be used to provide better insights and strengthen cyber security. According to the report released by Capgemini, 42% of the companies have improved security using AI and two out of three organizations are planning on adopting AI solutions to improve security measures. So, it is apparent that AI has positively impacted cyber security. Let’s discuss further. Applications of AI in Cyber Security To keep up with the cyber attacks which are evolving day by day, automating threat detection is needed to tackle issues in a smarter way than traditional software driven approaches. In most of the organizations...

  With the advancement of technology, people tend to use more devices and that leads to the growth in global data traffic. Traffic generated by new applications and services has increased and the number of connected things is increasing day by day. However, most of the devices have finite storage and processing capabilities even though many applications demand to process and store a huge amount of data. As a solution for this mismatch between the demand and the capabilities of the devices, Multi-Access Edge Computing has emerged. Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) provides cloud-computing capabilities and an IT environment at the edge of the network. It moves the data traffic to the edge of the network and closer to the customer from a centralized cloud. All the data are not sent to a cloud for processing and the network edge processes and stores data. This enables to have ultra-low latency, high bandwidth and real-time performance.

When we use the term “Access Control”, Authentication and Authorization are the two main areas we come up with. Here, methods used for Authentication in information systems are discussed. Basically, Authentication is determining whether a particular user is allowed to access system resources. It decides whether the access is granted or not. A system requires the answer for the question, “Are you who you say you are?” For this, you will have to provide,     Something you know     Something you have     Something you are   “Something you know” can be a password. “Something you have” can be an ATM card. “Something you are” can be a fingerprint. First let us discuss about passwords. An ideal password is something that a computer can verify that you know and it should be something others cannot guess even with unlimited computing resources. However, most of the passwords do not meet these ideal conditions...
