At the beginning of the year, the outbreak of the epidemic changed our way of life and work. The orderly resumption of work has enabled many enterprises and units to open the remote office mode. During this period, problems about cloud server security are common. Now the epidemic has been effectively controlled, but how to stabilize the security of enterprise cloud servers?
As far as Internet security is concerned, the increase in the number of online office workers and the surge in network traffic bring not only the pressure of high parallelism of servers and networks, but also security challenges. Remote office brings convenience to people's work, but it also provides new opportunities for malicious attacks. Attackers can easily attack through remote monitoring or remote control of thousands of computers. Because I am familiar with the working mode of remote office, I have a better understanding of the weaknesses of the Internet.
So, in general, what are the security problems? How can we effectively prevent and comprehensively protect the information security of enterprises?
1. DDoS attacks
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) is one of the most common network attacks in DDoS. Hackers control a large number of hosts, attack targets on the network, occupy server resources, and cause business interruption. While they bring direct economic losses to users, they also have varying degrees of impact on corporate reputation.
2. Data leakage of enterprise ECS
As an open portal for enterprises, websites have become the main means for hackers to obtain data. Hackers steal important enterprise data or user personal information for attacking enterprise websites or extorting enterprises, causing serious economic losses to enterprises.
3. Vulnerability of server system
Websites are usually attacked from server systems. Websites are based on computer networks, and computers rarely run operating systems. System attacks directly affect the security of websites. A small system attack may lead to system paralysis, such as buffer attacks, IIS attacks, third-party software attacks, etc.
How to improve the security performance of ECS to make it more stable?
1. Select a server with higher security
The reason why many enterprise websites have problems is that the website server is unstable, which causes the website to be hijacked, and there are advertisements that are not pushed actively. Therefore, when selecting servers, we should not only choose professional and reliable server manufacturers, but also configure the server performance.
2. Use of HTTPS protocol
In the case of HTTPS encryption, deploying SSL certificates to websites is the most effective network security measure. The HTTPS protocol can ensure the integrity and confidentiality of transmission data, establish an encrypted transmission channel from the client to the website server, and ensure that the information transmitted by users will not be stolen or tampered with by third parties through complex handshake protocols. In addition, HTTPS encryption protocol can also verify the identity of the website, so as to avoid personal information theft and even fraud by phishing websites.
3. Accelerate with CDN
As an intelligent scheduling content distribution service, CDN not only has the acceleration function, but also is a high protection and high acceleration service. Taking Huawei Cloud CDN acceleration as an example, combined with the whole network downtime and performance monitoring, the intelligent integrated scheduling system developed can effectively prevent access hijacking, achieve 100% real-time scheduling, and can not only improve the website response speed, It can also effectively eliminate DDoS attacks.
The technical capability and security of remote office are more important than ever before, and website security protection is becoming more and more important. Only by taking effective website security protection measures can we better resist hacker attacks and make our enterprise's cloud server more stable. Therefore, the establishment of website security protection measures must be placed at the top of network security. As a professional cloud service provider, Huawei Cloud has high-performance cloud servers, professional SSL certificates, intelligent and easy-to-use CDN acceleration and other cloud products, which will continue to protect the security of enterprise websites.
