Security is achieved through robust encryption and strong authentication mechanisms, adhering to the high-security standards of modern connection protocols. This ensures confidence in the interactions with cloud resources, as they in line with industry best practices on top of running smoothly and efficiently. ## High-level architecture The high-level architecture for internet connectivity in this [option](https://help.fluidattacks.com/portal/en/kb/articles/summary-of-mechanisms-used-to-access-assets) is based on a comprehensive approach that ensures both security and efficiency in data exchange. An overview is presented here: - Fluid Attacks is connected through various devices, such as computers, mobile devices, or workstations. - The connection is initiated through Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the first point of entry to the global network. - User data travels through the Internet infrastructure, using routing protocols to navigate to its destination efficiently. - Routers and servers along the way facilitate the seamless data transfer across interconnected global networks. - The security layer is reinforced by protocols such as HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) for secure data transmission on the web. - SSH (Secure Shell) is implemented for a secure and encrypted connection for more advanced and remote operations, especially useful for system administration and file transfer on the web. - The data finally reaches the desired servers and resources, including web servers, databases, and cloud applications. - Cloud infrastructure can be crucial, enabling fast access and scalability according to user needs. - The server responds to the user over the same secure connection, completing the interaction cycle.
