Research on data storage security model and management technology in cloud computing environment

Abstract

In view of the new challenges that cloud storage services pose to traditional storage technology, particularly in terms of data security, reliability, and management technology, an in-depth study of cloud storage security is crucial, focusing on the basic concepts, structures, and characteristics of cloud storage. Unlike traditional storage, cloud storage operates on a much larger scale as a distributed system, facing unique security risks such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and loss of data integrity. It's imperative to analyze the different structural levels of cloud storage systems, including physical storage servers, network infrastructure, and software applications that manage data distribution and access, as each level presents distinct vulnerabilities requiring tailored security measures like physical hardware protection, advanced encryption, robust authentication mechanisms, and regular security audits. Additionally, the implementation of redundancy systems is essential for maintaining data integrity and availability in case of hardware failure or cyber-attacks. Conclusively, a comprehensive cloud storage security model is proposed, encompassing technological solutions, policy, and governance frameworks to establish guidelines for data privacy, regulatory compliance, and ethical standards, thus ensuring the security and reliability of cloud storage systems and making it a secure, efficient alternative to traditional data storage methods in our increasingly data-driven world.
