Cloud computing has changed the whole picture that distributed computing used to present such as  Grid computing, server client computing. Despite Cloud offers great benefits, it also introduces a myriad of security threats to the information and data which is now being ported from on-premises to off-premises. These security threats must be overcome in order to get full benefit from this new computing exemplar. This paper identifies the importance of awareness behaviour in context of information security for cloud. We investigate four important factors of security awareness behaviour that should be considered when organisations intend to improve their security toward cloud computing environment based on awareness-focused programs. Finally we conclude that a well-structured awareness program that positively affect the level of self-efficacy, security practice care behaviour, security awareness technology behaviour and intention will improve the level of total information security in cloud computing environment

Recent Developments

Cloud computing is a system, where the resources of a data center are shared using virtualization technology, such that it provides elastic, on demand and instant services to its customers and charges them based on the resources they use. In this chapter, we will discuss recent developments in cloud computing, various security issues and challenges associated with Cloud computing environment, various existing solutions provided for dealing with these security threats and will provide a comparative analysis these approaches. This will provide better understanding of the various security problems associated with the cloud, current solution space, and future research scope to deal with such attacks in better way.

Day By Day

Day by day witnesses a wide development of information technology in the use of cloud computing, and its services shape its architecture. It is indeed, that replaces the former attempts to enrich the security strategy in cloud computing. Security is one of the major issues in the cloud computing environment. In this paper we investigate about security threads and possible solution for cloud. The paper is categorized as follows: Section I describes the cloud computing overview. Section II describes the security threats and challenges in cloud computing. Section III describes the Obstacles and vulnerabilities that can be carried out to cloud environments. Section IV describes the possible solution of the issues. Section V concludes the paper with a cloud computing security.

However, the security problem in the cloud computing environment has not been effectively resolved. Currently, the research on this problem is getting more attention from the industry. In order to further investigate the information security issues of cloud computing environment, this article not only discusses the basic concept, characteristics and service model of cloud computing, but also focuses on the cloud computing security reference model and cloud cube model. In this paper, the information security problems and concrete solutions in the former cloud computing environment are discussed from different aspects.</span>

Information security awareness is human and organizational attitudes which can be described as a behavior or an attitude of an organization and/or its members towards protecting the organization’s information assets. The goal of this paper is to understand the state of the information security awareness at some of the Saudi Arabians’ organizations, i.e., governments and privates by investigating the perception of their information technology’s employees. The author believes that understanding the state of information security awareness of IT employees can give a better understanding of the level of awareness at the entire organization. The results of this study show that most of the IT employees at the surveyed organizations have some misconceptions about information security practices. In addition, many responses indicated that many IT employees are not aware of the internal information security threats. Such results required very urgent actions from the top management of these organizations to consider the information security awareness programs within their public relations and training programs.
