Description
-
Evaluate, configure and manage
the security of SaaS resources.
-
- Investigate and analyse
in-depth the security challenges associated with cloud deployment models and
cloud delivery models in order to evaluate and devise strategies for securing
cloud-based systems.
-
- Recommend and evaluate
solutions to detect, mitigate and prevent security breaches to cloud-based
systems.
Goal
For this
assignment, you are required to deploy a web application hosted on a Cloud
platform. You must decide which cloud platform (e.g., Azure, AWS) to use for
deployment of your application.
You must also
decide which application you wish to deploy. It is not necessary to develop a
new application for this project – you can deploy one of the pre-canned
application environments available on your chosen cloud platform (e.g., a
Wordpress site).
- You must
complete a security report detailing how relevant security principles and
protocols have been implemented and tested in order to defend the system you
have deployed against breaches in integrity and security. On completion, you
will document the process and reflect on it through the deliverables listed in
the next section.
Deliverables
You have to
submit the following deliverables through Moodle: Consult Moodle for deadline
Cloud
Security:
A separate 6-8
pages report using the IEEE Conference template*. The report should include:
1. Your approach
to implement security in the system
2. Rational
choice and use of security tools, methodologies, frameworks and benchmark
methods
3. Documentation
of your testing methods and procedures
4. Risk ratings
in your system and full risk assessments
5. Outcomes of
your security analysis and practical implementation http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Consult Moodle
for Presentation Date Presentations / Demo: A presentation should be uploaded
to Moodle by end of day of the day prior to the presentation date.
