Security of End User
The customers of cloud services are responsible for ensuring the end user security they have to perform the tasks such as
- Performing the security procedures for protecting the Internet-connected PC, ensuring “safe browsing.” that is not using malicious web applications that websites not having the HTTPS certification are not reliable.
- Activity Protection includes the use of security software, like anti-malware, antivirus, personal firewalls, security patches, and IPS-type software on your Internet-connected computer most browsers have software vulnerabilities that make them vulnerable to end-user security attacks.
Hence, for achieving end-to-end security in a cloud the end user should always have an updated browser as in these updates the developer hides the vulnerabilities by patching them.
Infrastructure Security at the Application Layer in Cloud Computing
Pre-requisite:- Cloud Computing
Designing and implementing applications that will be deployed on the cloud platform will be required to re-evaluate current practices and standards of existing security programs of application. The security of applications ranges from standalone single-user applications to sophisticated multi-user e-commerce applications used by millions of customers. A large number of organizations also develop custom built web-applications for their business.
Since the browser is the end-user client for accessing the cloud applications it is important for application security programs to include browser security in the scope of application security.Combined(application and browser security) determine the end-to-end cloud security that helps in protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and information availability on the cloud services.
