Abstract

Cloud computing is changing the way corporate computing operates and forcing the rapid evolution of computing service delivery. It is being facilitated by numerous technological approaches and a variety of business models. Although utilizing the infrastructure of existing computing and networking technologies, different cloud service providers (CSPs) are able to unite their efforts and address a much broader business space. As a result, confusion has emerged and questions have risen from both Information Technology (IT) and business communities. How cloud environments differ from traditional models, and how these differences affect their adoption are of major importance. In this chapter, the authors first clarify misperceptions by introducing the new threats and challenges involved in cloud environments. Specifically, security issues and concerns will be depicted in three practical scenarios designed to illuminate the different security problems in each cloud deployment model. The chapter also further discusses how to assess and control the concerns and issues pertaining to the security and risk management implementations.
