MS Project Hosting Service Provider Offers Total Security
A MS Project hosting service provider, which makes use of the cloud computing or cloud hosting technology, deploys high tech and stringent security measures. An cloud computing and application hosting service provider makes use of high tech antivirus software, secure sockets layer encryption technology or SSL encryption technology, powerful threat and intrusion detection systems, robust firewalls, very thick wire fencing around the data center facilities, etc. Traditional intrusion detection systems focus on detecting attack instances on a computer network. The work required in a cloud computing model is different, since the attack instances are used to construct a profile of the actual attacker. An attacker is named a - threat - and can be a human being or an autonomous computer program. The system is therefore named a threat detection system. A threat detection system improves the security of a computer network that provides Microsoft Project hosting solution by making use of cloud hosting technology.
Security is often defined as a combination of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of assets. In the old world of paper and snail paced mail services, security meant that the assets (for example, some piece of information) must be kept secret, we must be able to trust the integrity of that piece of information, and the asset should be available to legitimate users when they need it. In the new world based largely on the Internet based information services, security is still important for the same above cited reasons. When computer systems are connected to the Internet network, the computer systems themselves and the information they contain are assets, and their security are threatened by the hackers, worms, viruses, and botnets which are some of the named threats. These threats, which are persons or computer programs, search for weaknesses (named vulnerabilities) of the computers and information (named assets) and try to exploit those using attacks, compromising the assets" confidentiality, integrity, availability, or a combination of those.
A hosted MS Project system is secure when the threats cannot exploit the vulnerabilities of that cloud based system. There are two approaches towards the secure MS Project on cloud systems - the first approach consists of removing the vulnerabilities of the hosted MS Project system or adding defenses that makes the exploitation of them harder. The time and skill required for a threat to compromise the system increases, and the threat will (hopefully) stop attacking voluntarily. It is impossible to locate and eliminate all the vulnerabilities of a system, therefore using only this first approach is not the best way to secure the system. The second approach consists of the detection of threats while they are attacking the cloud computing based system and stopping them before they are successful in compromising it, for example by removing their access to the system and involving the police. A combination of the two approaches is the best one to follow, since reacting to the threats takes time that can be obtained by eliminating the vulnerabilities. A MS Project hosting service provider thus follows the combo approach.
