The cloud computing approach has become the dominant technology paradigm across the entire enterprise IT infrastructure. The cloud model has brought a myriad of new and innovative management and operational mechanisms, approaches, and frameworks to nearly every industry. However, it has also created a lot of new and unknown risks and increased the likelihood of happening the existing ones such as online attacks, breaches, and data leaks. Because of this, information security management is now an actively transforming and developing sub-discipline of general management, whose professionals are currently engaged in solving multi-level problems in several industries at once. For example, experts say that “in the recent years, many efforts have been devoted to defend against the low-rate DDoS attacks” (Agrawal & Tapaswi, 2019, p. 3769). There is a strong need for a universal program of measures to safe keep, defend, and recover legal and personal data assets in both the business and public sectors.
This team project aims to present a specific multi-tasking information security program that will allow responsible managers and workers to respond effectively to existing types of Denial-of-Service (Dos) attacks and future new ones. It includes the formulation of novel theoretical principles and core ideas of information security and the description of universal defensive measures. Each contributor to this group work will bring their vision of management information security, which will provide a new response model with flexibility and efficiency. The online and data space is becoming increasingly dangerous and toxic for entrepreneurs and public entities in a world where privately hired and government-paid DoS attackers exist (Agrawal & Tapaswi, 2019). Fresh new ideas can change the current climate of these areas.
