Abstract

In today's fast-paced environment, cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations. With the advancement of technology and the proliferation of network threats, improving network security has become a priority. This work addresses Network Security as a Service (NSaaS) on cloud platforms and specifically its role in protecting critical systems and sensitive data. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of NSaaS in providing good security. NSaaS leverages the cloud while implementing best-in-class security measures to combat cyberattacks. This study evaluates the NSaaS performance of Amazon Web Services (AWS) through qualitative testing, analysis, and data analysis. Penetration analysis, attack analysis, network analysis and finally security measures are performed, revealing the ability of NSaaS to enhance cloud-based security by identifying and preventing various threats. This research demonstrates the value of NSaaS in improving cloud security. This is a simple solution that follows cloud computing principles. By providing valuable information, this research can help organizations improve their cybersecurity policies in today's dynamic environment.
