Architecture and Infrastructure Concepts
Understanding the interoperability between different architectural models and their security implications is essential for any secure architecture. Most of the devices on a corporate network use wireless or cloud services. However, wireless networks can be vulnerable to different types of attacks compared to wired networks, and cloud services often involve storing and accessing data off-premises, which introduces unique security challenges. Therefore, security methodologies for corporate devices need to take into account several architecture and infrastructure concepts unique to cloud computing. These concepts are detailed in the following sections.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a flexible and scalable technology that allows access to and storage of data and applications over the internet. The demand for cloud computing has risen over the last few years as the workforce has shifted in large numbers to a work-from-home system and become...
