Threat Landscape Across Multiple Cloud Service Providers Using Honeypots As an Attack Source

As the number of users of cloud services increases, so does the frequency of attacks against cloud infrastructure and systems. Cloud service providers do possess some control over the security of their systems. Nonetheless, these measures are only partially effective. End-users and clients should be informed of which cloud service provider delivers the best security for their services. This study aims to investigate the threat landscape of three cloud service providers: Google Cloud Services, Linode, and Amazon Web Services. Honeypots have been added to adequately monitor attacks and the attack sequence, allowing for a more thorough examination of the attack procedure. This research will clearly lay out the statistics regarding the Cloud service provider with the least threat landscape, as well as provide supporting information for all stakeholders in the cloud computing industry’s cyber threat awareness and provide recommendations for the base security configurations of all public-facing infrastructure.
