Security in Cloud Computing Zac douglass Chris kahn

Mission Statement To provide a detailed assessment on the security concerns of cloud computing Specifically in relation to: Infrastructure as a Service Public cloud

Background Cloud computing is separated into three service models: Infrastructure as a Service Platform as a Service Software as a Service And four deployment models: Public cloud Private cloud Community cloud Hybrid cloud

Significance Cloud computing is becoming a major aspect in the IT environment Many businesses, organizations, and agencies all implement the cloud Becoming more popular for hackers/organized crime While in its infancy, now is the perfect time to shape the cloud around a secure environment Major losses can happen Must take preventative action!

Up to date completion… Background information on cloud computing Significance of topic

Remaining Tasks… Pick out specific security flaws: Since dealing with IaaS we can look at physical flaws to networking: Vandalizing servers, machines, cables Also look at software flaws: What can compromise a virtualized machine? Malicious software Physical damage to a machine hosting virtualized operating systems What is a public security flaw? For one, easily accessible to EVERYONE. Users/hackers

Conclusion Cloud computing is the future of the IT world Security of the cloud is VERY important Infrastructures rely on the cloud to: Conduct efficient business practices Minimize cost associated with resources Rid IT systems of duplicate software/hardware Security risks compromise these aspects
