The Impact of Security Configuration on Public Cloud Connectivity

Abstract

Cloud computing technology has brought enormous changes to how the IT industry works over the past few years. As the many cloud service providers (CSPs) are deploying more indispensable and complicated applications, cloud security has also become of paramount importance. However, with more complex and advanced security measures in place, connectivity has also become an increasingly important issue. In this project, we examine cloud technology and security and evaluate how public cloud performance is affected by different security configurations that are often deployed in the cloud environment in a real-life scenario.
