Cloud Computing Protected describes the most important security
challenges that organizations face as they seek to adopt public
cloud services and implement their own cloud-based infrastructure.
There is no question that these emerging technologies introduce new
risks: Virtualization hinders monitoring and can lead to server
sprawl. Multi-tenancy exposes risks of data leakage to co-tenants.
Outsourcing reduces both control and visibility over services and
data. Internet service delivery increases the exposure of valuable
information assets. Ambiguity in jurisdiction and national
regulations complicates regulatory compliance. Lack of
standardization can lead to a lock-in binding customers to their
providers. Fortunately, there are also many security benefits that
customers can enjoy as they implement cloud services: Highly
specialized providers have the economy of scale to invest in
best-in-class tools and expertise. Contractual terms can clearly
define the function and scope of critical services. Public services
receive unprecedented scrutiny from the collective worldwide
community. It is possible to achieve unlimited levels of redundancy
by subscribing to multiple providers. The global reach of the
Internet and security specialists facilitates early alerts and
drives consistent policy enforcement. This book looks at these and
other areas where the advent of cloud computing has the opportunity
to influence security risks, safeguards and processes.
