Lower Cloud

Cloud computing is regarded as one of the most enticing technologies and potential silver bullet in the IT industry. Because of open condition and general-purpose nature of cloud, security issue is becoming a bottle neck of rapid development and broad application of cloud computing. Firstly, this paper addresses cloud customers’ significant concerns about and requirements of cloud security. Secondly, cloud security risks and threats posed by the pervasive and ad hoc nature of the cloud are comprehensively analyzed. Finally, some effective and dependable security mechanisms are proposed to lower cloud security risks and meet security requirements of cloud customers. Especially, a novel scheme for integrity and copyright protection of customers’ works in the cloud is presented based on digital watermarking and digital signature.

Cloud computing has been instrumental in transforming the way we store, access and process data. With mobility being the primary objective of the current market, cloud computing offers exactly that. Cloud offers convenient access to a shared pool of computing resources that can be configured and deployed with minimal effort which is used to deliver computing services over the internet. Exercising these advantages come with a plethora of security risks that need to be addressed. The security issues in cloud are complex due to the nature of implementation and regulations that govern them. In this article, we examine existing research on cloud risk and the various frameworks to manage risk. The objective is to map the risk with the audit control and technology that will help in mitigating the risk. We analysed the various cloud security solutions and came up with a list that best help in the effective management of the cloud risk and security issues.

Rapid Transition

The emergence of cloud computing has changed perception of all regarding software delivery, development models and infrastructure. Cloud computing has a potential of providing elastic, easily manageable, powerful and cost effective solutions. The rapid transition to cloud computing has fueled concerns on the security issues. The migration of the user’s data and applications in a shared environment of a cloud, where there is a collocation of several users increases security related concerns. Several research efforts have been made in evaluating challenges related to security faced by the cloud computing environments, a number of solutions of such problems have also been proposed. Integrated security solutions should be devised to deal with the increasing security risks. In this paper, a detailed cloud computing survey, key services and concepts are being presented.  This paper attempts to evaluate various security threats to cloud computing and a number of security solutions have also been discussed. Furthermore, a brief view of the cloud security regulatory bodies and compliance have also been presented. Despite the research efforts in cloud security field, there are still some open research problems and challenges which are discussed in this paper.

Abstract Cloud computing is a new technology that is undergoing tremendous development today. People who use it are not able to separate the reasonable from the unreasonable arguments that come with the security requirements in the cloud. The claim that cloud computing is hereditarily insecure is as absurd as the claim that cloud computing does not create new security problems. Cloud computing is a way to dynamically increase resources without the need for in-depth knowledge of a brand new infrastructure, without training new workers or designing new software solutions. The article aims to analyse the different cloud security issues and models of cloud architectures. Some of the main problems with security in virtualization, concerns about storing data in the cloud and the assessment of risk tolerance in cloud computing are presented. Legal and regulatory issues for the protection of personal data are addressed.

This chapter sets out to explore new trends in cyber and cloud security, and their implications for businesses. First, the terminology and assumptions related to cloud computing are stated. Next, the chapter reports on contemporary research around the awareness of security issues, and the security processes within the cloud computing realm. Cyber security poses a different challenge to local small and medium sized organizations, which may seem to have less at stake financially. However, they are more vulnerable, due to fewer resources dedicated toward prevention. A series of serious security incidents may even keep them out of business. Furthermore, security needs to be understood and handled differently in a cloud based environment. Therefore, the chapter identifies unique security practices and recommendations for these businesses to run their IT resources safely in the cloud.

Engineering Concept

The research community found that a software system should be evolved once every few months to ensure it is adapted to the real-world environment. The system evolution requires regularly amendments that append, delete, or alter features. It also migrates or converts the software system from one operating platform to another. These amendments may result in requirements/ specifications that were satisfied in a previous release of a software system not being satisfied in the subsequent versions. As a result, software evolutionary changes violate security requirements, and then a system may become vulnerable to different kinds of attacks. In this paper, concepts and visions are presented to avoid/minimize the Cloud security issues.
