Keep in mind, there is a balance to be struck between relying on trusted processes and security policies, and achieving operational agility --especially when subscriber data is at stake.

Answer 1

Recommending two options or approaches that cloud service providers can implement to protect subscriber data are as given below :

1.Virtual Firewalls Protection :

• Virtual firewalls are the software that are used to prevent the loss or the unauthorized disclose of the data within the storage repository.
• These virtual firewalls are consist of a set of rules and the constraints that request has to satisfy and access the data.
• These rules are set by the cloud service providers to distinguish between the suspicious request and the genuine request for data access or modification.

2.Trusted System Implementation :

• This is another approach that is used by cloud service providers to protect subscriber data.
• In this approach, the system is implemented by the cloud service provides that contains the access list in the form of a matrix or the table.
• The access list contains the user names and corresponding permission to the user which may be read, write, or execute permission.
• Only verified users are allowed to modify or view subscriber's data using the access list.
