Cloud computing-based security boxes provide the necessary securitization and
encryption needed to ensure that a private social network stays bolstered against
outsiders. Cloud computing is the wave of the future for computer users the world over.
Essentially, within a cloud computing network, numerous computers are connected and
interfacing through a centric communicative network (i.e. the internet, for instance)
where users can each run a co-communicative program on their computers
concomitantly. Security boxes offer the needed surety to engender the privacy and
encryption needed to keep uninvited guests out of the interdisciplinary functioning of the
network.
Securing a private social network, via a security box, is tantamount to securing
the computers, networks, users and information flow involved within the cloud. Security
boxes aim to protect and bolster the infrastructure and formalized coordinates of cloud
ingress and egress points. There are multiple levels of securitization to ensure that the
potency of a cloud network’s security system is as robust as it can be. There are
multiple facets of securitization that can be implemented in order to strengthen the
borders and private usability of a discreet social network.
Firstly, deterrent controls are instated parameters used to preempt and prevent
overt nefarious attacks on any external tier and mainframe component of a cloud
network. While these control mechanisms do not completely offer impermeability of a
network, they do function as a warning to hackers attempting to find weak and
vulnerable spots in a cloud system. Likewise, corrective controls are utilized in case a
penetrative attack is successful in corrupting the most external controls of a cloud

system. Corrective controls use preconfigured methodologies and damage control
parameters to foil the after-effects of an attack if its initial viral thrust is successful.
Additionally, preventative controls are parameters and fortifications that
continually assess, upgrade and revamp any detectable vulnerabilities of the cloud
system. These vulnerabilities are safeguarded and troubleshot in order to provide backup solutions for if they are penetrated by insidious attacks. Essentially, preventative
controls are administered to control the primary and collateral damage if an attack were
to occur. Furthermore, preventative controls, just like white blood cells in a human body,
work to rebuild the fidelity of a previously breached system. In addition, detective
controls are utilized in order, in real-time, find and troubleshoot attacks occurring within
more internalized and deeper segments of a cloud system. Detective controls are
comprised of a signaling system that alerts the preventative and corrective control
systems to come to the aid of a cloud system when it is permeated in ways that are
deeper than superficially.
Security boxes also entail aspects that bolster other security features of a cloud
network. For example, identity supervision systems are instilled in order to control and
monitor who has access to proprietary data and computational functions of the cloud
system. SSO technologies are utilized are used by cloud computing providers to merge
cohesive identity supervisions systems with the infrastructure of the private social
network. Also, security boxes stipulate that the physical hardware components utilized
by private social network members will be comprehensively secured and encrypted
against hackers. Likewise, access to social network member’s data is restricted yet also
stringently documented in order to make sure that prying eyes are not able to find weak

points within the systemic structure of the network. Security boxes also stipulate that
private social network members will have inexhaustible, exclusive and 24/7 accessibility
to their proprietary data flow and ancillary applicatory contents. Furthermore, the
security of cohesive applications is further bolstered by the security box service
additively synthesizing hermeneutic testing protocols for application codes. Thus,
securitization of applications is a mode of protocol that is started even within the product
production process.
Furthermore, within the framework of private social networks, proprietary and
fiduciary information, such as credit card data and social security numbers, are
encrypted and masked so that only authorized users have access to such sensitive
information. Also, in regard to issues of legality, security box stipulates terms of service
and other regulatory clauses in order to disclose all aspects of litigation-based
relevance. Security box also uses various tiers and measures of complicity in order to
obtain consent and interdisciplinary authorizations between members and
administrators of a private social network.
Securitization of private social networks is integral in terms of ascertaining that
members can exchange flows of data and information without fear of being interposed
by outsiders who are not welcome. Securitization of cloud-based networks is also
difficult to quantify and qualify as cloud-based network providers are mostly still betatesting aspects of their wares. Thus, customer service between providers and users can
sometimes be spotty, especially if hacks or attacks against a network happen outside of
business hours. In this case, proprietary members would have to wait until business

hours to obtain a solution from the provider or go it alone and attempt to comb the
internet for information on how to render the problem moot.
Cloud computing service providers also still have a bit of trouble making sure that
data breaches do not occur. It has been ascertained that a sophisticated algorithm could
use timing information tactics to mirror and mimetically execute cryptogram information
obtained from other user’s key strokes. Thus, this shows how a very small point of
ingress/egress into a cloud system could constitute a wide and gaping hole of
opportunity for a middling to expert-level hacker. It has also been found that some of the
measures utilized to mitigate data breaches can also aid in exacerbating the problem at
hand. Since the technology used in cloud computing networks can be quite serpentine,
convoluted and multi-tiered such reconfigured calibrations of systemic functions can
create new vulnerabilities. Hence, there must be expanded measures put in place in
order to guard against the constantly shifting propensity and probability of corruption
within any one of the numerous tiers of a cloud-based network.
In summation, security boxes provide extensive and mutli-tiered defenses
against the myriad of data breaches and hacking potentialities that can plague a
nascent cloud-based private social network. Since cloud-based computing is still a
relatively new and inchoate function, cloud computing providers must consistently
analyze and reevaluate their tactics and modalities of quality care in order to provide the
greatest modalities of protection to their clientele. Furthermore, the essential basis of a
private social network is discretion, privacy and sensitivity in regard to information, data
and pedigree information. Due to these parameters, security boxes are constantly being

revamped and tweaked in order to provide greater protection in order to decrease the
propensity for vulnerabilities and systemic failure.
