The best option to implement a secure connection between two different locations is IPSec (Internet Protocol Security). IPSec is a protocol suite that provides security for IP-based communications over networks. IPSec can encrypt and authenticate the data packets between two endpoints, such as routers, firewalls, or VPN gateways. IPSec can also provide integrity, confidentiality, and replay protection for the data.

One possible cause for the strange files and the large spike in network traffic on the storage appliance is that the default password is still configured on the appliance. A default password is a password that is set by the manufacturer or vendor of a device or software, and it is often easy to guess or find online. If the cloud engineer did not change the default password after deploying the virtual storage appliance, it could allow unauthorized users to access the appliance remotely and upload or download files, which could explain the symptoms observed by the administrator. This is a serious security risk that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data stored on the appliance.

The first step to identify the scope of an incident in an IaaS platform is to perform a traffic capture on the affected instances or network interfaces. This will help to determine the source, destination, and nature of the malicious or anomalous traffic, as well as the impact on the network performance and availability. A traffic capture can also provide evidence for further analysis and remediation.
