Abstract

Businesses increasingly outsource their ICT services to cloud environments, mostly driven by considerations about costs, processes and security. However concerns around cloud exposure against cyber-security attacks are also growing. This bring about the question if the cloud really makes us more secure, or if it merely changes the type of threats we are exposed to. This PhD project aims at addressing this question by focusing on cloud infrastructure security. Using Internet measurements, we will take a data-driven approach to identify vulnerabilities and single points of failure in cloud infrastructure. Based on our analysis, we will propose solutions to mitigate these vulnerabilities and enhance the overall security of cloud environments.
