Failure Cost

Cloud computing technology is a relatively new concept of offering reliable and virtualized resources, software and hardware on demand to users. It presents a new technology to deliver computing resources as a service. It allows several benefits for example services on demand, provisioning, shared resources and pay per use and suffers from several challenges. In fact, security presents a major obstacle in cloud computing adoption. In this paper, the authors will deal with security problems in cloud computing systems and estimate security breaches using a quantitative security risk assessment model. Finally, the authors use this quantitative model to solve these problems in cloud environments.

Cloud computing technology is a relatively new concept of providing scalable and virtualized resources, software and hardware on demand to consumers. It presents a new technology to deliver computing resources as a service. It offers a variety of benefits like services on demand and provisioning and suffers from several weaknesses. In fact security presents a major obstacle in cloud computing adoption. In this chapter, we will deal with security problems in cloud computing systems and show how to solve these problems using a quantitative security risk assessment model named Multi-dimensional Mean Failure Cost (M2FC). In fact, we present first a deep analysis of security issues related to cloud computing environments and then propose a generic framework that analysis and evaluate cloud security problems and then propose appropriate countermeasures to solve these problems.

Security Risk Assessment

The recent emergence of cloud computing has drastically altered everyone's perception of infrastructure architectures, software delivery, and development models. Projecting as an evolutionary step, cloud computing encompasses elements from grid computing, utility computing, and autonomic computing into an innovative deployment architecture. Cloud computing systems offer a lot of advantages like pay per use and rapid service provisioned on demand, while it suffers for some concerns specially security. In fact, a number of unchartered risks and challenges have been introduced from this new environment. This chapter explores the security issues in cloud computing systems and shows how to solve these problems using a quantitative security risk assessment model.

Strong Barrier

Cloud computing, a rapidly developing information technology has becoming a well-known the whole world. Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information, are provided to computers and devices on-demand, like the electricity grid. Cloud computing is the product of the fusion of traditional computing technology and network technology like grid computing, distributed computing parallel computing and so on. Companies, such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and so on, accelerate their paces in developing Cloud Computing systems and enhancing their services to provide for a larger amount of users. However, security and privacy issues present a strong barrier for users to adapt into Cloud Computing systems. It is a new technology that satisfies a user’s requirement for computing resources like networks, storage, servers, services and applications, without physically acquiring them. It reduces the overhead of the organization of marinating the large system but it has associated risks and threats also which include – security, data leakage, insecure interface and sharing of resources and inside attacks.

Research Findings

Cloud computing is being heavily used for implementing different kinds of applications. Many of the client applications are being migrated to cloud for the reasons of cost and elasticity. Cloud computing is generally implemented on distributing computing wherein the Physical servers are heavily distributed considering both hardware and software, the connectivity among which is established through Internet. The cloud computing systems as such have many physical servers which contain many resources. The resources can be made to be shared among many users who are the tenants to the cloud computing system. The resources can be virtualized so as to provide shared resources to the clients. Scheduling is one of the most important task of a cloud computing system which is concerned with task scheduling, resource scheduling and scheduling Virtual Machin Migration. It is important to understand the issue of scheduling within a cloud computing system more in-depth so that any improvements with reference to scheduling can be investigated and implemented. For carrying in depth research, an OPEN source based cloud computing system is needed. OPEN STACK is one such OPEN source based cloud computing system that can be considered for experimenting the research findings that are related to cloud computing system. In this paper an overview on the way the Scheduling aspect per say has been implemented within OPEN STACK cloud computing system

Security Challenges

The evolution of modern computing systems has lead to the emergence of Cloud computing. Cloud computing facilitates on-demand establishment of dynamic, large scale, flexible, and highly scalable computing infrastructures. However, as with any other emerging technology, security underpins widespread adoption of Cloud computing. This paper presents the state-of-the-art about Cloud computing along with its different deployment models. The authors also describe various security challenges that can affect an organization’s decision to adopt Cloud computing. Finally, the authors list recommendations to mitigate with these challenges. Such review of state-of-the-art about Cloud computing security can serve as a useful barometer for an organization to make an informed decision about Cloud computing adoption.
