Security Issues & Controls in Cloud Computing

V. Naga Lakshmi

Abstract :

Cloud computing, a rapidly evolving landscape has been defined as the use of a collection of distributed services, applications, information and infrastructure comprised of pools of computer, network, information and storage resources. These components can be rapidly grouped, provisioned, implemented and decommissioned using an on–demand utility–like model of allocation and consumption. Cloud Computing neither more nor less secure environment like any new technology creates new risks and new opportunities. In some cases moving to the cloud, provides an opportunity to re–architect older applications and infrastructure to meet or exceed modern security requirements. At other times the risk of moving sensitive data and applications to an emerging infrastructure might exceed your tolerance (Cloud Security Alliance, 2009). Organizations should adopt a risk–based approach to moving to the cloud and selecting security options. This paper deals with the current state of cloud computing security in the organizations and the most significant changes awaited by cloud computing users as computing resources migrate from on–premise to the cloud. Cloud users believe that Sensitive or Confidential information is too risky to be moved to the cloud.
