Cloud Computing in Modern Industries & Cybersecurity Threats

1. Cloud Computing in Modern Industries & Cybersecurity Threats & Prevention Presented by: Aanal Joshi

2. Introduction Modern industries increasingly rely on cloud computing for scalability and efficiency. Data security becomes critical with cloud adoption. Understanding cyber threats and prevention is essential for safe cloud deployment. Combines business growth with secure digital infrastructure .

3. What is Cloud Computing? Delivery of computing resources (servers, storage, databases, networking, software) over the internet . Key characteristics: On-demand self-service Broad network access Resource pooling & scalability Measured service (pay-as-you-go)

4. Types of Cloud Services IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Virtual machines, storage, networking. PaaS (Platform as a Service): Development platforms, databases. SaaS (Software as a Service): Applications delivered online (e.g., Salesforce, Google Workspace). FaaS (Function as a Service): Serverless computing for event-driven apps.

5. Role of Cloud in Modern Industries Industry 4.0 adoption: IoT, AI, Big Data analytics. Real-time collaboration across global teams. Cost efficiency : Reduced hardware and maintenance costs. Business continuity : Disaster recovery & backup solutions.

6. Cybersecurity Threats in Cloud Data breaches : Unauthorized access to sensitive data. Account hijacking : Compromised credentials. Malware & ransomware : Malicious software targeting cloud systems. Insider threats : Employees or contractors misusing data. Denial of Service (DoS) attacks : Disrupting cloud services.

7. Causes of Cloud Security Vulnerabilities Misconfigured cloud storage or services. Weak passwords or poor access control. Lack of encryption for sensitive data. Insufficient monitoring & logging of user activity. Use of third-party apps without proper security review.

8. Cybersecurity Prevention Measures Data encryption (at rest & in transit). Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accounts. Regular security audits & compliance checks . Firewalls & Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) . User training & awareness programs .

9. Real-world Examples Amazon AWS & Microsoft Azure : Advanced cloud security features. Capital One breach (2019): Highlights importance of secure cloud configuration. Healthcare & Banking sectors: Compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS standards. Industrial IoT : Secure cloud integration for smart factories.

10. Conclusion Cloud computing drives modern industrial growth , but introduces cybersecurity risks . Proactive security measures ensure safe and resilient operations. Future focus : Combining AI, blockchain, and cloud for secure, intelligent industries .
