Research on Cloud Platform Security Protection System for Power Plant

Abstract

In the electric power industry, the information construction of IT systems is in an important period evolving to cloud computing technology and implementing digital transformation. The power cloud is a critical infrastructure for the digital construction in electric power companies. Cloud computing technology fundamentally introduces a flexible and dynamically allocated shared resource pool, and provides a way to share cloud resources different from traditional information systems, but it also brings new security risks and challenges. This paper analyses the security risks of the power cloud from the aspects of network security, host security, application security, data security, and management risks. The focus of research is on the construction of a security protection system for private cloud infrastructure in electric power companies. According to the business characteristics and important levels of business modules, the partition and domain protection design recommendations of the power cloud is proposed. An overall security protection architecture including three aspects of cloud platform self-security, cloud platform security services and cloud security operation management is presented. And specific key protection measures in the above three aspects are given, which has important guiding significance to electric power companies.
