Keywords:
Cloud Computing, Distributed Systems, Cybersecurity, Information Assurance, Internet of Things, Security Framework, Data Privacy, Risk MitigationAbstract
Cloud computing and distributed systems have transformed digital infrastructures, enabling scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. However, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced unprecedented security challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive framework that integrates cybersecurity and information assurance to enhance the security of cloud computing and distributed systems in IoT environments. By reviewing existing security models, challenges, and advancements, this study proposes a robust, scalable, and adaptive security framework. The research includes an analysis of distributed computing models, IoT vulnerabilities, and cybersecurity protocols, along with graphical representations and structured methodologies to improve security postures. The findings contribute to building more secure cloud-based distributed networks with enhanced resilience against cyber threats.
