The leaky bucket theory suggests that companies are always losing customers, so if you’re smart, you’re protecting what you have while you expand your base.

 

When we talk about the cloud, it’s usually cloud compute and storage. Easily accessible and quickly provisioned, these resources support your growth. But how much attention and money have you spent on cloud security?

 

Gartner predicts end-user spending on public cloud services to reach $396 billion this year, with 6.5% ($25.9 billion) on cloud management and security. That might seem low for an investment with a massive return. The Cloud Security Alliance describes how easily attackers destroy a vulnerable cloud. Disguised as normal users or administrators, they can brute-force your password to access, steal, and tamper with data in your databases and web pages.

 

And that’s not the only kind of attack. A cloud that cannot detect and reject malicious requests will be busy handling traffic from DoS attacks instead of servicing normal users. A cloud that cannot check for and kill Trojans or ransomware will be risking permanent damage.

 

Taking action to enhance cloud security can save you from great losses. But you don’t need to be a security professional – HUAWEI CLOUD is here to help.

 

The HUAWEI CLOUD team has seen and beaten over 30 years of tricks for intruding on systems, asking for ransom, and ruining companies. Our expertise has been distilled into our security services, which are now available as a value-for-money package. If you plan to invest in a bulletproof cloud, HUAWEI CLOUD security services are the smart choice.

 

Host Security Service (HSS) defends your Linux and Windows cloud servers from within. It sees through attacker disguises for you – repeated login attempts, abnormal login IP addresses or locations, and suspicious privilege escalations. HSS regularly updates its vulnerability database to detect and kill Trojans or ransomware and patch weaknesses, all in just a few clicks. Its Web Tamper Protection edition guards you against unauthorized changes to web pages, folders, files, and images, not just protecting your digital assets but protecting your reputation.

 

Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Advanced Anti-DDoS (AAD) defend against malicious traffic by proactive minimization of the attack surface. These intelligent systems monitor traffic 24/7 to identify and block 0-day, CC, XSS, and DoS attacks. Powered by Huawei's deep machine learning technology, WAF allows you to configure a wide range of rules to protect applications, anonymize data, and control access. AAD diverts attack traffic targeting your servers to high-defense IP addresses for scrubbing, making sure only normal user requests reach you.

 

Database Security Service (DBSS)is the armor closest to your data. Compliant with HIPAA, SOX, and PCI DSS standards, DBSS audits your databases from multiple angles including user behavior, established sessions, and SQL statements. Audit logs are backed up in Object Storage Service (OBS)[l(5] to be easily recoverable. DBSS intelligent algorithms detect SQL injection, abnormal behavior, and sneaky users, helping you discover intrusions, breaches, misoperations, and moles before they discover you.
