Research on Protection for the Database Security Based on the Cloud of Smart Grid

As cloud services enter the Internet market, cloud security issues are gradually exposed. In the era of knowledge economy, the unique potential value of big data is being gradually explored. However, the control of data security is facing many challenges. According to the development status and characteristics of database within the cloud environment, this paper preliminary studies on the database security risks faced by the “three-clouds” of State Grid Corporation of China. Based on the mature standardization of information security, this paper deeply studies the database security requirements of cloud environment, and six-step method for cloud database protection is presented, which plays an important role in promoting development of security work for the cloud database. Four key technologies of cloud database security protection are introduced, including database firewall technology, sensitive data encryption, production data desensitization, and database security audit technology. It is helpful to the technology popularization of the grade protection in the security of the cloud database, and plays a great role in the construction of the security of the state grid.
