Cloud computing has been a great enabler for both the In-ternet of Things and Big Data. However, as with all newcomputing developments, development of the technology is usually much faster than consideration for, and development of, solutions for security and privacy. In a previous paper, we proposed that a unikernel solution could be used to improve security and privacy in a cloud scenario. In this...
Achieving cloud security is not a trivial problem and developing and enforcing good cloud security controls is a fundamental requirement if this is to succeed. The very nature of cloud computing can add additional problem layers for cloud security to an already complex problem area. We discuss why this is such an issue, consider what desirable characteristics should be aimed for and propose a novel...
Defining proper measures for evaluating the effectiveness of an assurance model, which we have developed to ensure cloud security, is vital to ensure the successful implementation and continued running of the model. We need to understand that with security being such an essential component of business processes, responsibility must lie with the board. The board must be responsible for defining their...
Since the inception of cloud computing, security researchers have been active in addressing the question of cloud information security, which has seen the development of a wide range of technical solutions. The same can be said for non-cloud information security research which has been active for a far longer period of time. Yet, year on year, security breaches continue to increase, both in volume...
Achieving security and privacy in the cloud is not a trivial exercise. Indeed, the difficulties associated with achieving this goal are both many and highly complex, and present one of the major barriers to the uptake of cloud computing. Yet, we know cloud computing offers the possibility of substantial economic benefit to firms, as well as providing great agility, which can offer a competitive advantage...
All Cloud computing standards are dependent upon checklist methodology to implement and then audit the alignment of a company or an operation with the standards that have been set. An investigation of the use of checklists in other academic areas has shown there to be significant weaknesses in the checklist solution to both implementation and audit, these weaknesses will only be exacerbated by the...
Managing information security in the cloud is a challenge. Traditional checklist approaches to standards compliance may well provide compliance, but do not guarantee to provide security assurance. The complexity of cloud relationships must be acknowledged and explicitly managed by recognising the implications of self-interest of each party involved. We begin development of a conceptual modelling framework...
