Security and Network File System

The paper discusses the topics of security as a service and network file system, highlighting their relationship with information security. Security as a service is defined as a business model where providers integrate security services into corporate infrastructure on a subscription basis, making it cost-effective. The cloud delivers this service without hardware use. Network File System (NFS) allows clients to access files on computer networks, and its security administration provides approval to validated clients. The paper also explores the performance updates of NFS with security features and emphasizes the importance of information asset protection through implementing security practices in organizations.

Networking

In this present paper, we will discuss the two topics, namely, security as a service and network
file system. The paper also describes the relationship with the information security. The security
as a service is defined as the business model in which the service providers are integrated with
the service of security into the infrastructure of corporate on a subscription basis. It is more cost
effective than the individual or companies can take for its own. The cloud is used for delivering
the service without the use of premises hardware. The security service comprises of anti-virus,
anti-malware, security event management, intrusion detection and others. The network file
system is defined as the distributed file system which allows accessing the computer of a client
in which the files are accessed which are on the computer networks.
There is a direct relationship between the Network File System and information security. The
service security administration provides approval to the validated clients. The two steps are
required in the Network File System, namely, mount access and file access. The security for
mount access is provided by etc. exports file. The file is accessed by the permission received by
the drive (Kaneko et al., 2012).
The network file system is basically an open standard which is defined in request for comments
and it allows implementing the protocol. The principal motivation is an attempt which is done to
eliminate the performance issue of the synchronous operation in the version two of network file
system. The network file system updates with the security and it has the good performance in the
copying of large file workloads.

The service as security is interrelated with the information security in which the services are
provided towards the information security such as anti-virus, authentication and others which
help to provide great information security with fast user provisioning (Sharma et al., 2013).
The protection of information assets is the priority of the company which is protected through
implementing the security practices in an organization. The security services are accessed by the
companies through SECaaS which is scalable, robust and cost effective. It provides the uniform
and consistent protection to the companies.
