How we're using 'chaos engineering' to make cloud computing less vulnerable to cyber attacks
Cloud computing powers services from transportation and healthcare to streaming services. With nearly 3 in 4 companies going over their estimated cloud budgets, cloud overspend is a serious problem that undermines the cloud's many transformative benefits.
Keeping cloud costs in check requires a mix of human and tech solutions outlined in this compelling article.
What is chaos engineering?
Chaos engineering is a practice that involves deliberately introducing faults into cloud-based systems to observe how they respond under stress. By simulating cyberattacks or other disruptions, organizations can identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in their systems. This approach helps improve the resilience and performance of cloud services, allowing them to better withstand real-world challenges.
How does chaos engineering improve cloud security?
Chaos engineering enhances cloud security by allowing organizations to test their systems against potential failures and cyberattacks. By conducting experiments that simulate stress conditions, companies can uncover issues that traditional performance measurements might miss. This proactive approach helps in strengthening the systems, making them more reliable and capable of learning from past incidents.
What are the recent trends in DDoS attacks?
Recent data from Cloudflare indicates a significant increase in DDoS attacks, with a reported 65% rise in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the previous quarter. Additionally, there were four million DDoS attacks recorded in the second quarter of 2024. This highlights the growing threat that cloud services face from cybercriminals and underscores the importance of implementing robust security measures.
