Compute

Cloud security requirements for compute involve measures and best practices to ensure the security of virtual machines and computing resources in cloud environments.

Key Cloud Security Requirements for Compute:

• Virtual Machine Security: Protect virtual machines from unauthorized access and attacks.
• Isolation: Ensure proper isolation between virtual machines on shared physical hardware.
• Access Controls: Implement role-based access controls (RBAC) for compute resources.
• Patch Management: Regularly apply security patches and updates to virtual machines.
• Network Security: Configure firewalls and network security groups to control traffic.
• Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Monitor for and prevent unauthorized activities.
• Secure Configuration: Apply security baselines and best practices to virtual machine configurations.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Require additional authentication for compute access.
• Encryption: Encrypt data at rest and in transit for compute resources.
• Privileged Access Management: Control and monitor privileged access to compute instances.
• Resource Scaling: Scale compute resources based on demand while maintaining security.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM): Manage user identities and permissions for compute access.
• Auditing and Logging: Maintain logs of compute activities for auditing and monitoring.
• Incident Response: Develop plans to respond to security incidents affecting compute resources.
• Compliance: Ensure compute resources meet regulatory and industry security standards.
