This article discusses some differences in security implementation between private and public clouds and hybrid cloud security. 

Security implementation of public cloud vs private cloud vs. hybrid

Security implementation in public clouds

In a public cloud environment, third-party cloud service providers are often responsible for a secure IT infrastructure. It may not be enough privacy and security standards in place if you work in a specific industry or have specific information stored in a public cloud. As a consequence of these flaws, public cloud systems become more prone to attack by potential hackers when integrated with sophisticated malware. Many cloud service providers or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers now offer built-in security solutions to help protect mission-critical data.

Security implementation in private cloud

A private cloud offers the best control over the security parameters of any cloud environment because you undertake security efforts either in-house or outsource to a managed services provider. As a private cloud user, you may have access to enhanced levels of authentication, API-enabled protection, additional levels of automation, and the flexibility to scale. 

Some options are available to businesses seeking improved security while using flexible public cloud infrastructure, such as a cloud-based content delivery network (CDN). An organization can hire a security company or build its own security team to fight against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, provide security for online applications and websites, and facilitate the secure flow of information over the internet. You can provide faster and more efficient services to all your clients worldwide through an experienced security team in your company.

Security implementation in hybrid cloud

Using a hybrid cloud, you can benefit from a private and a public cloud solution in one seamless service. Private clouds provide security along with extensive feature sets, while public clouds offer flexibility and customizability. This is an ideal combination for many companies, which is why hybrid cloud systems are more prominent among growing businesses. With hybrid cloud corporate designs, you get the best of public and private cloud architectures. Data centers and the cloud are examples of hybrid models that enable IT, administrators, to select where programs and data will live. 

Conclusion  

When it comes to cloud computing and cloud security, no single architecture will work for all enterprises. Cloud architects and developers must identify the cybersecurity requirements for all business applications and data types. It is possible to classify and designate technology services for deployment in either the public or private cloud, depending on each deployment model's costs and security implications.
