Cloud services are gaining popularity with times. Service level agreement (SLA) serves a basic understanding between the clients and cloud service providers (CSP). Ensuring secured and adequate service is a basic need of the customers. In this work a set of compliance parameters for cloud service level agreement is identified. A generic rule base is designed to empower the process with an automated...
Despite the great benefits of cloud computing on businesses, some organizations have had to withdraw from its service due to incomplete compliance to conditions from standards, bodies, or Service Level Agreements which have led to their being penalized. A structured and efficient model is helpful to aid small and medium scale enterprises (SMSEs) utilize cloud services safely and ascertain their fitting...
Despite their increasing proliferation and technical variety, existing cloud storage technologies by design lack support for enforcing compliance with regulatory, organizational, or contractual data handling requirements. However, with legislation responding to rising privacy concerns, this becomes a crucial technical capability for cloud storage systems. In this paper, we introduce PRADA, a practical...
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...
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...
The ongoing process of defining, developing, and recognizing standards is intrinsically a community activity. As standards are developed and implemented in the emerging cloud computing landscape, the "Standards and Compliance" area will serve as a forum for describing not only the standards that are seeing use, but also the process by which they're developed to the point that they can see...
