Cloud connection
Last updated: Sep 30, 2026
Fluid Attacks can access your resources with a cloud connection. Strong encryption and strong authentication keep the connection safe. The two follow the security standards of modern connection protocols. The connection is also fast and reliable.
High-level architecture
The architecture of this option keeps the data safe and the exchange fast. This is an overview:
- Fluid Attacks connects from different devices, such as computers, mobile devices, or workstations.
- An Internet Service Provider (ISP) starts the connection. The ISP is the first point of entry to the global network.
- The data travels through the Internet. Routing protocols move the data to its destination.
- Routers and servers on the path transfer the data across the connected networks.
- HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) protects the data in transit on the web.
- SSH (Secure Shell) gives an encrypted connection for remote operations. It is useful for system administration and file transfer.
- The data reaches the target servers and resources. These include web servers, databases, and cloud applications.
- Cloud infrastructure gives fast access and scales with the needs of the user.
- The server answers the user through the same secure connection. This completes the cycle.
