Prevent Cyber Attacks on Cloud Computing Environments Covid 19 Era

Abstract

COVID-19 Pandemic timeframe confirms that cloud computing is a useful part of an international structure that enables sharing computing facilities while working remotely. Though, the newly developed connected as well as automated cars have also amplified the susceptibility to cyber-crimes like phishing, malware, ransomware, and data breach. In this case, attention will be drawn to the new trends identified in the process of Cloud Computing during the pandemic, namely the increased level of sophistication of attacks by cybercriminals and hackers, and sometimes with the support of states. It narrates possible threats which are Sniffer attacks, DNS weaknesses, CAPTCHA cracking, Google hacking and many others, their effects on international security. This analysis shows that to secure such information for continued business, then efficient security controls like encryption of data, MFA, and monitoring should be incorporated. It also aims at new threats to be included into the system in addition to optimizing security measures with a view of improving on the protection of new complexes such as cloud environments. Therefore, the conclusion suggests that daily monitoring and the struggle for finding new approaches are critically important to safeguard cloud services in the dynamic environment and in the context of the post Covid-19 period.
