The cloud technology is advancing rapidly and enterprises are speedily adopting it.
The cloud cost and performance are the major benefits; however, some basic security
problems have ebbed into the background. The cloud computing is associated with
some serious risk to privacy and consumer rights. Consequently, the organizations
dealing with cloud computing must address the key security issues like trust,
confidentiality, integrity, authentication, control and audit, risk analysis, SLAs,
procedure and policies, ISMS and laws to enhance the efficiency of the cloud. The
Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Security Officers (CSOs) of the cloud user
and provider sides need to comprehend and address the risk and security issues in detail
before actually benefiting its high-end computing power.
