Securing Cloud Infrastructure: Leveraging Fog Computing for Enhanced Protection

Abstract

In essence, a cloud is a collection of several dedicated servers connected by a network. A network-based environment called "cloud computing" is centered on resource or computation sharing. Customers just pay for the resources they use in the cloud; they are not required to pay for local resources like infrastructure or storage. Thus, this is the primary benefit of cloud computing and the primary cause for its increasing popularity in the modern world. Because it may lower processing costs while enhancing the flexibility and scalability of computer processes, cloud computing is also one of the most exciting technological advancements. However, security is the primary issue that arises with clouds. Furthermore, security and privacy are currently the two key issues that need to be taken into account. We are developing a new technology called fog computing to address the security issue. By offering security within the cloud environment, fog computing simply expands on cloud computing rather than replacing it. We can improve the cloud experience by separating user data that must reside on the edge with Fog services. Fog computing's primary goal is to put the data close to the consumer
