| cloud services risk assessment: Survey on Cloud Computing Security Risk Assessment Ishraga khogali, 2015-05-27 Essay aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Informatik - Allgemeines, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Cloud computing is a new computing technology which has attracted much attention. Unfortunately, it is a risk prone technology since users are sharing remote computing resources, data is held remotely, and clients lack of control over data. Therefore, assessing security risk of cloud is important to establish trust and to increase the level of confidence of cloud service consumers and provide cost effective and reliable service and infrastructure of cloud providers. This paper provides a survey on the state of the art research on risk assessment in the cloud environment. |
| cloud services risk assessment: IT Security Risk Management in the Context of Cloud Computing André Loske, 2015-10-30 This work adds a new perspective to the stream of organizational IT security risk management literature, one that sheds light on the importance of IT security risk perceptions. Based on a large-scale empirical study of Cloud providers located in North America, the study reveals that in many cases, the providers’ decision makers significantly underestimate their services’ IT security risk exposure, which inhibits the implementation of necessary safeguarding measures. The work also demonstrates that even though the prevalence of IT security risk concerns in Cloud adoption is widely recognized, providers only pay very limited attention to the concerns expressed by customers, which not only causes serious disagreements with the customers but also considerably inhibits the adoption of the services. |
