Issues in Security of Cloud Organizations use the Cloud in a variety of different service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) and deployment models (Private, Public, Hybrid). There are a number of security issues/concerns associated with cloud computing but these issues fall into two broad categories: Security issues faced by cloud providers (organizations providing software-, platform-, or infrastructure-as-a-service via the cloud) and security issues faced by their customers.In most cases, the provider must ensure that their infrastructure is secure and that their clients’ data and applications are protected while the customer must ensure that the provider has taken the proper security measures to protect their information.
A significant paradigm shift is represented by public cloud computing from conventional norms of an organizational data center to a de-parameterized infrastructure which opens gates for potential adversaries to use. Cloud computing should be approached carefully with any emerging information technology area with due consideration to the sensitivity of data. A good planning helps and ensures that the computing environment is secure to the most possible extant and is in compliance with all relevant policies of an organization and makes sure the privacy is maintained.
Another security issue conducting penetration tests (pentest) for evaluating the security of the cloud computing system. As stated in Gwu.edu. (2010), “We must be able to
Keywords – Cloud Computing, Cloud Security, Layered Framework I. Problem Description Cloud computing combines several computing concepts, all geared towards provisioning of hosted services over an internet connection. By leveraging this technology, organizations have been relieved of the challenging, complex and often
Introduction Cloud computing is a one of the most talked of topics in the field of Information Technology in recent times (Keyun, Joe, Taha, & Ibrahim, 2013). This subject area of cloud computing basically is a term used to describe computer resources available as a service accessible over a network (Darren & Kim-Kwang, 2013). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) define cloud computing as a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access on a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction (Peter & Timothy, 2011). Due to the attractive nature of the model there has been rise in the use of cloud computing. Gartner, an IT research and consulting firm, says that cloud computing is growing will become the bulk of IT spend by 2016 (Gartner, 2013).
Introduction Over the past several years the term cloud computing has become common in homes and organizations alike. Cloud computing can be defined as a pooled set of computing resources that are furnished via the internet. There are three types of cloud services typically available, these services are Platform as a
Introduction Cloud Computing is a new paradigm of large-scale distributed computing which is rapidly becoming one of the hottest topic among business organisations (Pallis, 2010), and represents a fundamental change in the way of Information Technology (IT) services are invented, developed, deployed, scaled, updated, maintained and paid for (Martson et al, 2011).
Cloud Computing Security Cloud computing security is a set of control based technologies and policies that must follow certain rules in order to protect applications, data and any information associated with cloud computing. It is known to provide excellent services but is still not supported by organizations due to privacy issues that includes security and privacy protection. As they obstruct the managers as well as the
As depicted in figure 3, the technical details, arrangements and management of the cloud service providers’ network is transparent to the cloud user. From the end of the cloud user, the service from the provider comes in the form of SaaS, PaaS or IaaS where the cloud user has no
Cloud computing is essential for businesses. It provides distributed cloud storage solutions that enable enterprises and users with varying capabilities to process and store their data, applications or information in a third party data centers. Cloud computing is a technology which has evolved overtime. It has redefined the field of information technology. Businesses have emerged and expanded as a result of cloud computing. For example, companies such as UPS and FedEx among others have efficiently embraced cloud computing to improve customer experience through cloud enabled technologies.

There are varying service and deployment models to suit different types of businesses. With any new revolutionary technology there are
The article “Cloud Computing: State of the Art and Security Issues” is written by Shruti Chhabra and V.S. Dixit, published by ACM SIGSOFT on 3rd April 2015. The article appears to be a collection of basics terminologies for Cloud Computing along with some categories comparisons between various Cloud services available
Computing in the Future: Cloud Computing Demetrius Reed, Bob Deans, Jacqueline Jackson Introduction Cloud Computing is one of the emerging technologies which now represent a reality and a low-cost computing power resource which has gained popularity among all business categories, especially medium and small size, governmental or medical organizations, as more people
Introductory Overview of the Topic In the last few decades, the increased capability and accessibility of Internet had resulted in many benefits to the world of computing. One of the most prominent contribution t to power cloud computing. Cloud computing, a relatively new technology, has experienced tremendous growth since its inception, with organizations and individual finding it beneficial, due to its convenience and ability to deliver computing resources at cost effective terms. The cloud offers on-demand cloud computing resources, eliminating the need for organizations to purchase, install, store and maintain costly computing infrastructure. It also offers reliability and flexibility in terms of computing. With the cloud model, users can have services in three paradigms. First, cloud as an infrastructure offers the users on-demand computing infrastructure, including
I. INTRODUCTION Cloud computing has been ideas as the next generation paradigm in computation. Cloud is an environment of the software and hardware resources in the centers of data that provide diverse services over the network or the Internet to satisfy user’s requirements [1].
