Achieving Data Security with the CCAF and XSS

Abstract

Offering real-time data security for peta bytes of data is important for cloud computing. A recent survey on cloud security states that the security of users’ data has the

 

highest priority as well as concern. We believe this can only be able to achieve with an approach that is systematic, adoptable and well-structured. Therefore, this paper has developed a framework known as Cloud Computing Adoption Framework (CCAF) which has been

customized for securing cloud data.

 

This paper

explainsthe

overview,

rationale and

components

in the

CCAF to protect

data

security.

CCAF is illustrated

by the

system

design

based on the

requirements and the

implementation demonstrated

by the

CCAF multi-layered

security. Since

our Data

Center

has

10 petabytes of data, there

is a huge

task

to provide real-

time protection

and quarantine. We use Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) to

simulate how data

is in use.

The use of BPMN simulation allows us

to evaluate the

chosen

security performances before

actual

implementation. Results show that

the time to take

control













 

of security breach can take between 50 and 125 hours. This means that additional security is required to ensure all data is well-protected in the crucial 125 hours. This paper has also demonstrated that CCAF multi-layered security can protect data in real-time and it has three layers of security: 1) firewall and access control; 2) identity management and intrusion prevention and 3) convergent encryption. To validate CCAF, this paper has undertaken two sets of ethical-hacking experiments involved with penetration testing with 10,000 trojans and viruses. The CCAF multi-layered security can block 9,919 viruses and trojans which can be destroyed in seconds and the remaining ones can be quarantined or isolated. The experiments show although the percentage of blocking can decrease for continuous injection of viruses and trojans, 97.43 percent of them can be quarantined. Our CCAF multi-layered security has an average of 20 percent better performance than the single-layered approach which could only block.
