3. Threats for Cloud Users
Lack of trusting cloud provider's security level
Lack of Information/Asset Management
Data loss and leakage
Loss of Account/Service management

4. Threats for Cloud Service Providers
Abuse and Nefarious Use of Cloud Computing
Insecure interfaces and APIs
Malicious insider
Impact of compromising the provisioning service
Isolation management / data multi-tenancy
Storage controller (Single point of failure / compromise)
Exposure of data to foreign governments
Application multi-tenancy
Reliance on hypervisors
Process isolation / Application sandboxes
Additional risk when integrated with customer applications
Needs certification and accreditation as a separate application
Software code updates
Virtual zoning with application mobility

5. Status from Meeting 3
We received 35 contributions with focus in orchestration; cloud management; cloud security; cloud broker functionality and cloud benefits
These contributions were towards the five output documents produced in the second meeting
A clear process and work plan for the FG Cloud activities and deliverables was defined in order to prepare the first FG Cloud report to be submitted to the next TSAG meeting of Feb 2011

6. Output Documents
Introduction to the cloud ecosystem: definitions, taxonomies, use cases, high level requirements and capabilities. The scope of this deliverable is to provide an introduction to the Cloud ecosystems, focusing on integration and support of Cloud Computing model and technologies in telecommunication ecosystems. The major changes include the addition of the value proposition, requirements and capabilities clauses.
Functional requirements and reference architecture. The scope of this deliverable is to define the functional requirement and reference architecture of cloud computing, which includes the functional architecture, functional entities and reference points.
Overview of SDOs involved in cloud computing. The scope of this document is to provide an overview of SDOs; to map the FG cloud working group and output documents to these SDOs ; and , to be as a base to produce a gap analysis that will result in a unique areas that can be under the ITU-T purview, specifically from telecom perspective.
Cloud security, threat & requirements: Security Cloud has started to be discussed from reviews of other SDOs which are related Cloud Security activities in CSA, DMTF, CloudAudit, NIST, GICTF, etc. After the observation of the existing activities, the FG Cloud tentatively identify security threats from view points of Cloud user and Cloud service provider. Considering the identified security threats, the FG Cloud also studied security requirements to be considered for Cloud Computing Technology.
Infrastructure and network enabled cloud. Position existing network infrastructure capability is a unique opportunity for service providers to provide bundled offers combining Network and IT resources. In addition, service providers can leverage their network asset to address network availability and performance for secure end to end cloud services. Another opportunity for service providers is to evolve network resource allocation and control to more dynamic in order to meet the needs to provision on-demand cloud services.
