Cloud computing is radically changing the way businesses around the world manage their operations. In 2023 alone, 94% of businesses used it to streamline services, increase productivity, and protect valuable data.
However, even as organizations are empowered to achieve their goals, concerns remain about the security of the cloud-based environment, particularly the ability of malicious insiders or former employees to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Research into deploying an integrated framework for authentication-based security and access control across cloud-based environments has led to a new approach to cloud security and sensitive data protection.
The research conducted by Dr. Satish Karuturi, an expert in computer engineering and cloud computing, aims to understand how a cloud-based system can operate more securely by implementing security levels that will prevent unauthorized access, ultimately preventing malicious insider attacks that could affect critical data.
It unveils a secure framework that uses encryption algorithms and digital signatures to provide enhanced end-to-end authentication as well as cloud security that includes access control and levels.

“This cybersecurity approach reduces the risk of a ‘man in the middle’ or ‘dictionary’ attack and requires no additional software or hardware for authentication,” said Carutori. “It is the first layer-based security model designed to address all authentication challenges at once, sharing service access keys between cloud providers and customer service units, and managing it with an anonymous third party.”
