CLOUD COMPUTING SECURITY By Yoshita Jumili Lawrence Technology University INT7223 Enterprise System Security Summer 2015 Dr. Terrance E. Dillard Instructor Introduction The economic case for cloud computing is compelling and at the same time there are striking challenges in its security. The concepts of cloud computing security issues are fundamentally new and intractable. What appears new is only relative to traditional computing that has been practiced since several years. Many such security problems have been giving attention since the time-sharing era. Cloud computing providers have and can build datacenters as large due to their expertise in organizing and provisioning computational resources at as low cost as possible. …show more content…
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. To understand the public cloud computing environment that is being offered by the cloud providers. The responsibilities of an organization and the cloud providers vary depending on the service model. Any organization should understand and organize the process of consuming the cloud services and also keep an eye on the delineation responsibilities over the computing environment and implicate security and privacy. Assurances or certification and compliance review entity paid by the cloud providers to support security or privacy should be well verified time to time by organization through independent assessment. To warrant the 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.
Cloud computing has set a trend in the information technology arena that has sparked the interest of all who utilize the internet on purpose and unsuspectingly. Initially, the primary purpose of cloud computing was to provide a centralized data bank that organizations could use for quick data access. Its use has been quickly adapted, however, beyond business use to become the first option for personal use. The advantages and disadvantages of implementing such a shift from business to personal are varied, yet, statistically, according to the CISCO Global Cloud Index: Forecast and Methodology, 2014-2019 White Paper, its public use is on the rise. The report notes that “by 2019, 56 percent of the cloud workloads will be in public cloud data centers, up from 30 percent in 2014 and by 2019, 44 percent of the cloud workloads will be in private cloud data centers, down from 70 percent in 2014”. Though disadvantages with regard to data security is prominent, users have deemed that its implementation will still promote greater benefits than loss.
We would like to provide the benefits of cloud computing without any troubles to propel in the direction it is designed for. This is to be achieved by preventing the owner's data from all risks associated and providing a cloud model that is more secure and efficient. The proposed model shall overcome the security risks defined by the security functions over cloud computing, as follows in (Passent M. et al., 2015):
The majority of us have been found out about the most cloud security disappointments in which all the cloud innovation organizations are kept on developing, despite everything they endure a similar kind of issues in-house infrastructure's. Distributed computing has turned into a greatest market in the present innovation. In a report of 2016, experts at Gartner anticipated that exchanging to cloud will influence $1 Trillion in Information innovation in the following five years. Cloud administrations showcase has developed to a degree level that it was not a striking level of aggregate it is spending, which was creating new innovations and new businesses which are conceived in the cloud. At the point when cloud administrations are going
DATA SECURITY IN CLOUD COMPUTING Introduction: Cloud computing has prompted a movement in how individuals consider IT frameworks structural engineering. Numerous associations today are either executing cloud-based services, or assessing which cloud-based measures they will be portraying later on. As indicated by Gartner Inc. distributed computing is "no less compelling than e-business". This sprocess in building design from an undertaking normal server-based framework to a cloud-based framework will have related expenses of passage and dangers, yet it can bring about inconceivable advantages in reserve funds and in IT and business deftness.
be an issue. In different service models, the level of trust must also be different.
This section of paper includes why we need cloud computing as a security control tool against the cyber criminal activities and in how many ways it can be implemented. As we are living in a technical era, many aspects of our lives rely on the Internet and computers, including transportation, communications, government, medicine, finance and education. Consider how much of our personal information is stored either on our own computer or on someone else’s system.
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
ABSTRACT: Cloud computing is nothing but an internet based connection to remote servers which allows to store data and access to all services. These services are provided by the third party who owns the infrastructure. Cloud computing is classified into public, private or hybrid. It is a kind of grid computing. It is flexible and easy to adapt. Apart from advantages organizations are very slow in processing the customer resources because it has some security issues and challenges associated with it. Security is the main issue which is becoming a big hurdle for the growth of cloud computing. The companies are worrying to handle some important data to other companies due to these security challenges. This paper is going to give brief
Usage of remote servers via internet to store, manage and process data instead of using a personal computer is known as Cloud computing. It’s a set of Information Technology services with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Most of the cloud services are provided by a third party service provider. In cloud computing, organizations can utilize IT services without in advance investment. Despite its benefits obtained from the cloud computing, the organizations are slow in accepting it due to security issues and challenges. Security is one of the major problems which hinder the growth of cloud. It’s not wise to handing over the important data to another company; such that clients need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data infringement in this new environment. This paper discusses a detailed analysis of the cloud computing security issues and challenges. (Ayoleke)
There would various security issues to cloud computing Concerning illustration it includes Numerous innovations including networks, databases, operating systems, virtualization, asset scheduling, transaction management, load balancing, concurrency control and memory administration. Therefore, security issues to a significant number of these frameworks and innovations would relevant to cloud computing. For example, those system that interconnects the frameworks to a cloud need to be secure. Furthermore, virtualization standard clinched
Cloud computing depicts the utilization of a gathering of services, applications, data, and framework. While distributed computing is extending quickly and utilized by numerous people and associations globally, clients ' information is generally handled remotely in obscure machines that clients don 't possess or work. Consequently, clients ' apprehension of classified information spillage and loss of security in the cloud turns into a noteworthy boundary to the wide appropriation of cloud administrations. Data Loss/Leakage Prevention has been discovered to be one of the compelling methods for averting Data Loss. In this paper, we will examine about cloud computing data security issues, counting tile security of information transmission, storage, security and administration of security. Concentrate on all inclusive data administration influence cloud security examination, and called attention to that an achievement in the advancement of this cloud computing, attempt to list the comparing
Cloud Computing is collaborative, less expensive, and has gain an upper hand in the industry today through the use of the internet. However, cloud Computing can not be discussed without considering the risks that are associated with it, because most of the services are often outsourced to a third party. As a result of this it is difficult to maintain a
Visibility – The use of cloud services requires an organization to hand over the security management procedures of the systems with which the organization’s data and applications operate on to the service provider. Management and technical security control measures of the service provider should be in alignment with that of the service consumer to ensure that the security objectives of the consumer is achieved. Research on metrics for comparing the security procedures and controls between the consumer and service provider is still underway (Jansen, Directions in Security Metrics Research, 2009).
Cloud computing is a service that many businesses and organizations use to store large amounts of data with more cost efficiency. Using a service such as cloud computing can greatly minimize the cost spent on hardware and software or software licensing for corporations, and at the same time enhance the performance of business processes. The main concern with cloud computing remains primarily with privacy and security since all data and information are stored on the service provider’s network rather than a local personal computer. However, to resolve the problem of security, a Trusted cloud computing platform (TCCP) design was proposed to enable Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS). The suppliers like Amazon EC2 guarantees the trusted execution of virtual machines to provide a closed box execution, facilitating the users to test the IAAS supplier and decide whether the service is secure or not before launching their virtual machines (Santos, Gummadi, & Rodrigues, 2009, p. 1). Considering how important cloud computing had become, TCCP seems to be an ideal solution to the problem of cloud computing privacy and security.
