Once the deployment of the cloud infrastructure is done then all the data are going to be transferred to the clouds for further usage.
This cloud infrastructure would also be used for the purpose of backing up of the data. The deployment of the big data is also going to be done. Once all the deployments are completed it is necessary to implement the security of the new infrastructure. Various security measures are to be adopted in order to provide protection against various threats. Along with this the applications present in the cloud is also to be secured so as to stop any kind of unwanted manipulation.
