- Security and Privacy Framework for a Cloud Native PlatformPublication . Takagi, Yuka Mouro; Caldeira, Filipe Manuel Simões; Henriques, João Pedro MenoitaThere has been a growing adoption of cloud-native platforms as an essential trend in developing and operating modern applications. These applications stand out for their benefits, such as agility and flexibility in the development and imple mentation of services, support for dynamic scalability, and reduction in operational costs, as well as the possibility of integration with distributed and high-availability environments. However, the distributed and automated nature of the platforms has increased the attack surface and the complexity of protecting sensitive data in an environment where multiple services and users are integrated. Risks include the possibility of data breaches through incorrect or vulnerable configurations in containers and microservices. To avoid privilege escalation, the need arose to manage identity and access efficiently. Guaranteed confidentiality, integrity and availability of data in compliance with global data protection regula tions, such as the General Data Protection Regulation, mitigating legal risks and protecting user privacy. This scenario raises the need to improve their security and privacy mechanisms to mitigate vulnerabilities and protect cloud-native environments. In that aim, the proposal of this project aims to carry out a state-of-the-art on privacy and security in cloud-native applications, proposing and evaluating a security framework. To analyse the results, the framework was validated through specific test scenar ios that demonstrated the effectiveness of the applied security methods in mitigating vulnerabilities and enforcing robust security policies.
