Fear of Security in Clouds


Organizations are rapidly turning to the Cloud to reduce costs, provide greater flexibility and quickly ramp up support of business needs. But as more data, applications and infrastructure move to the Cloud, security remains a top concern. In fact, according to the Cloud Security Alliance, security is cited as the number one barrier to adoption of Cloud services among organizations.

Organizations use the Cloud in a variety of different service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) and deployment models (Private, Public, Hybrid). Regardless of how your organization leverages the Cloud, Cloud Security Threats can help your organization manage the security, risk and compliance concerns.




What are the “security” concerns that are preventing companies from taking advantage of the cloud?  Numerous studies, for example IDC’s 2008 Cloud Services User Survey of IT executives, cite security as the number one challenge for cloud users.

The Cloud Security Alliance’s initial report contains a different sort of taxonomy based on 15 different security domains and the processes that need to be followed in an overall cloud deployment. We categorize the security concerns as:

  • Traditional security
  • Availability
  • Third-party data control

  1. Cloud security is the transfer of data between the device and the data center: All data must be encrypted. Business-critical applications sometimes also necessitate guaranteed performance features. Cloud providers should therefore be able to comply with certain bandwidths or latencies.

  3. Cloud security, also known as cloud computing security, consists of a set of policies, controls, procedures and technologies that work together to protect cloud-based systems, data and infrastructure. These security measures are configured to protect data, support regulatory compliance and protect customers' privacy as well as setting authentication rules for individual users and devices.
