Infrastructure Security at the Network Level

There are no new attacks, vulnerabilities, or changes that need to be considered in this specific topology by the information security personnel, beside that our organization’s IT infrastructure might be affected by the implementation of a private cloud but our current network topology probably will not get affected. whereas if we used the services of public clouds any changes in the security requirements will require a change in the network topology. Therefore, we must define some ways through which our existing network topology will interact with the topology of the cloud provider.

Pre-requisite: Cloud Computing

Infrastructure Security deals with the threats, risks, and challenges that are associated with the security of the organization’s IT infrastructure such as the host, network, and application levels, this approach is commonly used by security practitioners whereas Non-IT security associates are advised not to equate the infrastructure security with access management’s infrastructure as service security(IaaS). Besides that infrastructure security is more related to customers, as they have ramifications with threat, risk, and compliance management.
