Abstract
In the current pandemic situation, social distancing is the new normal. Jobs that allow remote work are done from home and technologies for video conferencing, online shopping, online services from the state etc. are now in the foreground. Cloud and mobile technologies were already on an upward trend in popularity, but this period propelled them even more into people's preferences. However, like any technology, they can pose security risks in the context of a more intensive use by a larger audience, which must be considered. Of course, the risks must also be measured in comparison with the opportunities that have arisen in the new context. This paper aims to analyze the potential security risks posed by a more intensive use by a larger population of the cloud and mobile technologies. At the same time, the opportunities brought by these technologies in the new pandemic context will be analyzed.
Highlights
The current context of the cloud and mobile technologiesI took statistical data to see the current use of the cloud and mobile technologies. I organized this data according to a set of criteria, such as the time spent on different types of devices, the traffic consumed by different types of devices and the number of people who opted for work from home in different periods
Bandwidth and data transfer Mobile cloud computing brings several benefits such as longer battery life and storage for mobile devices which can be accomplished through centralized processing and storage at the cloud service's datacenter
Data management and synchronization Due to the hardware limitations of mobile devices, mobile cloud computing allows computation offloading where some computation tasks are transferred to the cloud datacenter
Summary
I took statistical data to see the current use of the cloud and mobile technologies. I organized this data according to a set of criteria, such as the time spent on different types of devices, the traffic consumed by different types of devices and the number of people who opted for work from home in different periods. Bandwidth and data transfer Mobile cloud computing brings several benefits such as longer battery life and storage for mobile devices which can be accomplished through centralized processing and storage at the cloud service's datacenter. This approach, may lead to more communication overhead because of the increased bandwidth consumption and data transfers. Data management and synchronization Due to the hardware limitations of mobile devices, mobile cloud computing allows computation offloading where some computation tasks are transferred to the cloud datacenter This process requires a proper data management system. Cloud computing requires a higher bandwidth internet to be able to access servers in Europe or the USA [14]
