Abstract

Cloud computing can be considered as a revolution of how commercial enterprises obtain and use computational services. In a narrow sense, cloud computing means the rent of services over the Internet with its characteristics such as storage, computing, and applications. An organization can host an application in minutes and run it without having to invest a week or a month in procuring the necessary hardware and setting it up with the help of cloud. This is made possible by the flexibility brought about by pay as you go, eliminating cases where firms incur bills in resources they did not or will not require. Privacy is an essential aspect within the cloud computing that is still emerging. This is done through nurturance of proper encryption, security check and risk analysis, creation of organizational standards and compliance to other standards. These risks should be well understood by all organizations to make sure that measures are employed to make cloud security not to hinder the adoption of this technology that holds great promises for the growth of their business processes.
