Description

Cloud platforms made our job easy by providing various Compute service by creating instance & deploy our applications in a short time. But the security of instance is a major concern. If the hacker knows the IP address of our instance, he will start ssh attacks. Once he gets the access, he will either install malware or destroy the data. But if Cloud providers found unusual traffic on your instance then Cloud providers will stop your services from their end even your VM works fine. Obviously, this will take time to launch the new instance and money or maybe it will impact your users’ traffic. To prevent such type of attacks, we need to set up security majors. This course will help you to define or set up the security methods to secure the instance & prevent the attacks.
