Cloud computing has emerged and paved its way forward at an unprecedented pace. It has managed to simultaneously transform business and government giving rise to new security challenges. The emergence of the cloud service model provides business supporting technology with an increased efficiency than ever before. The paradigm shift from server to service has revolutionized the way IT departments think, design, and provide computing solutions and applications. Yet, these revolutions have given birth to new security challenges – the full impact of which is yet to be determined.
The document discusses cloud computing security. It outlines 12 major threats to cloud security according to the Cloud Security Alliance, including data breaches, compromised credentials, and denial of service attacks. It also describes security responsibilities for both cloud providers and customers. Effective security requires strong authentication, encryption, logging, vulnerability management, and defining security architectures tailored to the specific cloud platform. With proper precautions, customers can benefit from cloud computing while maintaining adequate security.
Cloud computing - Assessing the Security Risks - Jared Carstensenjaredcarst
This document summarizes the key security risks of cloud computing. It discusses how privileged user access poses risks if sensitive data is processed outside an organization without proper controls. Regulatory compliance responsibilities still fall on the customer. Data location and legal jurisdiction need to be clearly understood. Data segregation and investigative access are also security concerns, as most cloud data is commingled. Disaster recovery and long-term provider viability require thorough due diligence. Proper planning, flexible agreements, and well-defined roles are emphasized as part of a roadmap for successful cloud adoption.
MIST Effective Masquerade Attack Detection in the CloudKumar Goud
Abstract: Cloud computing promises to significantly change the way we use computers and access and store our personal and business information. With these new computing and communications paradigms arise new data security challenges. Existing data protection mechanisms such as encryption have failed in preventing data theft attacks, especially those perpetrated by an insider to the cloud provider. We propose a different approach for securing data in the cloud using offensive decoy technology. We monitor data access in the cloud and detect abnormal data access patterns. When unauthorized access is suspected and then verified using challenge questions, we launch a disinformation attack by returning large amounts of decoy information to the attacker. This protects against the misuse of the user’s real data. Experiments conducted in a local file setting provide evidence that this approach may provide unprecedented levels of user data security in a Cloud environment.

Winston Morton gave a presentation on intrusion prevention in cloud computing. He discussed how the risk model has changed as private cloud deployments virtualize network aggregation points and public cloud providers control critical security elements. Intrusion prevention systems face challenges in the cloud due to reduced visibility without direct access to the cloud provider's network. However, industry trends show virtual intrusion prevention solutions are maturing to integrate with enterprise systems and provide visibility into public cloud environments.
Data loss prevention by using MRSH-v2 algorithm IJECEIAES
Sensitive data may be stored in different forms. Not only legal owners but also malicious people are interesting of getting sensitive data. Exposing valuable data to others leads to severe Consequences. Customers, organizations, and /or companies lose their money and reputation due to data breaches. There are many reasons for data leakages. Internal threats such as human mistakes and external threats such as DDoS attacks are two main reasons for data loss. In general, data may be categorized based into three kinds: data in use, data at rest, and data in motion. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are good tools to identify important data. DLP can do analysis for data content and send feedback to administrators to make decision such as filtering, deleting, or encryption. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools are not a final solution for data breaches, but they consider good security tools to eliminate malicious activities and protect sensitive information. There are many kinds of DLP techniques, and approximation matching is one of them. Mrsh-v2 is one type of approximation matching. It is implemented and evaluated by using TS dataset and confusion matrix. Finally, Mrsh-v2 has high score of true positive and sensitivity, and it has low score of false negative.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT SECURITY INCIDENTS IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT?EC-Council
Though cloud technology allows for quicker access to virtual systems and reduced costs, switching to the cloud presents issues that must be addressed, such as misconfiguring infrastructure that can affect the whole system, sensitivity to minor configuration changes in platform services, transparency increasing difficulties in software service customizations, and increased risk from complications in microservices architectures. These issues can be overcome by learning the stages of incident management including planning, triage, containment, evidence gathering, and recovery.
This document summarizes best practices for web development based on a study by Larry Wilson. It discusses using responsive design, flexible frameworks, HTML5 semantics and forms, CSS3 rules and properties, web fonts, JavaScript optimization, and usability testing. The goal is to implement these standards to create accessible, optimized websites that work across devices. Key aspects covered include mobile-first design, progressive enhancement, minimizing file sizes and requests, and testing with users.
Organizations moving to virtualized platforms need to carefully examine the impact on overall security policy. While virtualization can provide cost savings, it also brings new security risks that must be mitigated. When servers and applications are consolidated onto fewer physical hosts, there is a risk that a single vulnerability or failure could impact multiple systems. Implementing proper access controls, monitoring, and security best practices throughout the virtual infrastructure is important to reduce risks. CIOs must develop strategies to extend existing security policies and controls to the new virtual environment.

Fusion of data from multiple sources is generating new information from existing data. Now users
can access any information from inside or outside of the organization very easily. It helps to increase
the user productivity and knowledge shared within the organization. But this leads to a new area of
network security threat, “Inside Threat”. Now users can share critical information of organization to
outside the organization if he/she has access to the information. The current network security tool
cannot prevent the new threat. In this paper, we address this issue by “Building real time anomaly
detection system based on users’ current behavior and previous behavior”

Security for Effective Data Storage in Multi CloudsEditor IJCATR
Cloud Computing is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and
applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access their personal
files at any computer with internet access. This technology allows for much more efficient computing by centralizing data
storage, processing and bandwidth. The use of cloud computing has increased rapidly in many organizations. Cloud computing
provides many benefits in terms of low cost and accessibility of data. Ensuring the security of cloud computing is a major factor
in the cloud computing environment, as users often store sensitive information with cloud storage providers but these providers
may be untrusted. Dealing with “single cloud” providers is predicted to become less popular with customers due to risks of
service availability failure and the possibility of malicious insiders in the single cloud. A movement towards “multi-clouds”, or in
other words, “interclouds” or “cloud-of clouds” has emerged recently. This paper surveys recent research related to single and
multi-cloud security and addresses possible solutions. It is found that the research into the use of multicloud providers to maintain
security has received less attention from the research community than has the use of single clouds. This work aims to promote the
use of multi-clouds due to its ability to reduce security risks that affect the cloud computing user.
Many organizations fear migrating their applications to the cloud because it can
be an extremely challenging and complex task. This process will require proper
planning, effort, and time in order for it to be successful.
The security measures as well as practices that organizations have built for their
on-premise infrastructure do not coincide with what they require in the cloud,
where everything is deeply integrated.
Before streamlining your workflow with cloud computing, you must be aware of
the most challenging security risks and how to avoid them. Let's explore how
organizations should approach the security aspects of cloud migration, from API
integration to access control and continuous monitoring.
This article will highlight some of the most common fears organizations have
while moving from an on-premise infrastructure to a cloud environment.

Internal & External Attacks in cloud computing Environment from confidentiali...iosrjce
IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering (IOSR-JCE) is a double blind peer reviewed International Journal that provides rapid publication (within a month) of articles in all areas of computer engineering and its applications. The journal welcomes publications of high quality papers on theoretical developments and practical applications in computer technology. Original research papers, state-of-the-art reviews, and high quality technical notes are invited for publications.
This document discusses security threats in cloud computing environments from the perspectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It identifies internal and external attacks that can threaten cloud systems. Internally, malicious insiders like users, providers, or third parties can access data. Externally, remote software or hardware attacks are possible from external attackers. Specific threats are organized by their impact on confidentiality like data leakage; integrity like incorrect resource segregation; and availability like denial of service attacks. The document concludes that security efforts should focus on both prevention of threats and detection of security issues.
This document discusses various risks associated with cloud computing including availability risks if a major cloud provider experiences downtime, security risks from attacks on user credentials or APIs, and confidentiality risks from data being shared across tenants or potentially accessed by cloud provider employees. While cloud providers are responsible for security of the cloud itself, businesses still bear responsibility for their own data security and need to carefully consider things like data encryption, access controls, and disaster recovery when using cloud services.
This document discusses security considerations for cloud computing. It covers security challenges like privacy, portability, interoperability, reliability and availability. It also discusses security planning, boundaries based on infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) models. Additional topics include data security, software as a service security, security monitoring, and security architecture design.

Government endeavors to expand and make available the range of services to the largest possible numbers of users. At the same time, the public sector also works hard to improve its own internal operations and use the best possible talent it can get. Increasingly, there is also a need to improve the collaboration between different sectors of the government while ensuring that data privacy and security are not affected

Let us understand some of the infrastructural and
security challenges that every organization faces today
before delving into the concept of securing the cloud
data lake platform. Though Data lakes provide scalability,
agility, and cost-effective features, it possesses a unique
infrastructure and security challenges.
In a recent survey of 250 senior IT & business decision makers by Cloud Industry Forum, 61% expressed concerns over data security in the cloud, despite the fact only 2% have ever experienced a cloud-related security breach. Talk of the cloud and cloud technology has been rife for a long time now, yet there
are still many businesses that subscribe to out-dated
myths, such as data security.
The last few years have seen a marked increase in the
popularity of the cloud but for many it’s another tech
innovation that everyone tells them they need but that they
don’t fully understand. There’s a distinct hype surrounding
discussions on the cloud, but for the most part, they come
across as semi-intelligible fog, full of jargon fi lled techspeak,
with a lack of clarity about the business advantages.
In this whitepaper, we’ll lift the haze around the cloud and take
a straight-forward approach to explore the benefits, making it easy to determine if the cloud is right for you. We’ll clearly state the benefits of using the cloud as well as give an overview of the perceived risks and remove some of the common misconceptions.

9 Things You Need to Know Before Moving to the Cloud
1. 9 Things You Need to Know Before Moving to the Cloud
2. Agenda
Cloud computing has emerged and paved its way forward at an unprecedented pace.
It has managed to simultaneously transform business and government giving rise to
new security challenges. The emergence of the cloud service model provides
business supporting technology with an increased efficiency than ever before. The
paradigm shift from server to service has revolutionized the way IT departments
think, design, and provide computing solutions and applications. Yet, these
revolutions have given birth to new security challenges–the full impact of which is
yet to be determined.
3. The cloud shift proves to be more affordable and prompt, but by taking that route, it
undermines the necessity of enterprise level security policies, principles, and best
practices. In the event of these, businesses have made themselves vulnerable to
breaches that can as easily nullify any gains that have made as a result of the cloud
shift.
4. Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) has identified nine such risks or threats associated
with cloud computing. In view of this they have created industry-wide standards
for cloud security. In order to safeguard themselves in the cloud environment,
businesses should understand these risks–aptly named as “The notorious nine”
by CSA.
5. These Notorious Nine are;
Data Breaches
Data Loss
Account Hijacking
Insecure APIs
Denial of Service
Malicious Insiders
Abuse of Cloud Services
Insufficient Due Diligence
Shared Technology Issues

6. Data Breach
Data Breach is a serious threat that most CIOs are concerned about. In November
2012, researchers at the University of Carolina published a paper which described
how an automated machine was able to use side channel timing information to
access private cryptographic keys on another machine located on the same
physical server.
Security breaches are inevitable. Service providers may claim that they adopt best
practices, however, we all know that there’s no way to completely eliminate risks
associated with it. The best way for businesses is to be on the defensive and work
with the vendors, providers, and lawyers to prepare “Data Breach Response’ in
advance to reduce the risks and liabilities when data breach incident happens.
7. Data Loss
It is a petrifying thought to lose data for both businesses and consumers alike. The
data in the cloud is in complete possession of the cloud service provider. Any
accidental deletion through human error, a physical catastrophe like fire or
earthquake, may lead to a permanent loss of all data. This risk can be mitigated by
keeping an adequate backup of the data. A backup on a separate server still is
open to a data breach or data loss on losing the encryption key. However, many
companies are required to deal with compliance standards for record keeping. If
physical records are kept, then data loss may not have that big an impact on the
enterprise.
8. Account or Service Traffic Hijacking
This threat is not a new one. Phishing, exploitation, fraud have found a place in
cyber space for a long time. Passwords are reused often amplifying the impact.
Cloud just adds to the landscape. All attackers have to do is gain access to your
account, which is not hard if password and credentials are not strong enough.
Attackers can then falsify, manipulate, or even redirect data. They may also make
your account a base for their activities and leverage their subsequent attacks. This
has been and still remains one of the top threats. Stolen credentials give the
attackers power over all critical information. The enterprise data then falls into his
hands and he may gain access to all cloud computing services deployed, thereby
compromising the integrity and confidentiality of those services.
9. Insecure Interface and APIs
Cloud computing essentially works by exposing a set of APIs or software interfaces
that allow consumers to remotely access data. Delivery, Management, adaptation,
and monitoring services are all performed by way of these interfaces. The overall
security of the cloud depends on the security of these interfaces. From credible
access control to encoding and activity overview, these interfaces must be secured
against accidental or purposeful efforts to circumvent policy.
These interfaces are further used by cloud users to build upon and provide value-
added services to their customers. This introduces an additional layer of risk and
exposure to the security breach at the API level.
The responsibility of grasping the depth of security at the API level lies with both,
the service provider and the consumer as reliance on a poorly orchestrated API
would lead to security issues related to integrity, confidentiality, accountability and
availability.
10. Denial of Service (DoS)
Essentially, DoS is preventing the consumers of the cloud to access their own
data. This attack tends to corner the victim into consuming inordinate amounts
of limited system resources, memory, processor power, and network bandwidth
or disk space. This leads to a network slow down, much like getting bottlenecked
in rush hour traffic. This is a case of can’t go through, can’t get out. What results
is excessive use of bandwidth. And the service providers charge based on the
disk space consumed. Therefore, the increased processing time would lead to
high costs.
11. Malicious Insiders
The backbone of the entire cloud technology is storing data with a third party.
Where there is trust, there is also a breach of trust. This is much like data breach,
except it comes from the different sources and purposes.
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, defines an insider threat as:
“A malicious insider threat to an organization is a current or former employee,
contractor, or other business partner who has or had authorized access to an
organization’s network, system, or data and intentionally exceeded or misused that
access in a manner that negatively affected the confidentiality, integrity, or
availability of the organization’s information or information systems.”
12. Abuse of Cloud Services
Cloud computing has made a name for itself as it gives large computing capabilities
to even small organizations. These capabilities can even fall into the wrong hands.
With such computing power, an attacker can easily crack an encryption key in no
time. He may even employ these servers to plan and orchestrate a DoS attack. This
threat is a risk to the service providers. They have to identify abusers and service
breach from their end.
13. Insufficient Due Diligence
Cloud computing has made its presence felt with a bang. All the organizations
want a piece of the cloud. The promise of reduced cost, efficiency in operations
and improved security has baited the organizations well. By pushing to the
cloud, organizations may be minimizing their risk at the operational and
departmental front but they are adopting risk associated with the cloud. These
risk, if not assessed diligently can pose a threat and impact organization making
it difficult for them recoup for the lack of capable resources.
14. Shared Technology Vulnerabilities
Cloud services are third party services. Service providers scale their resources by
sharing platforms, Infrastructure, and applications. Whether it’s the hardware
components that make up the infrastructure (CPU, Servers, Caches etc.) or the
software ( Saas, PaaS, IaaS etc.) The risk of shared vulnerability exists in all service
models. A compromise of a critical component may lead to an overall compromise
of data stored on the cloud.
15. Conclusion
Having an equal understanding of both the promise that cloud computing
offers and the risk that it brings is a crucial step for enterprises before
adopting and transitioning their IT environment onto the cloud.
