by Rashid Syed Zahidur (Author)

As companies turn to burgeoning cloud computing technology to streamline and save money, security is a fundamental concern. Loss of certain control and lack of trust make this transition difficult unless you know how to handle it. There is no question that these emerging technologies introduce new risks such as 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. This book details the strengths and weaknesses of securing your company's information with different cloud approaches. Attacks can focus on your infrastructure, communications network, data, or services. The author offers a clear and concise framework to secure your business' assets while making the most of this new technology. Fortunately, there are also many security benefits that customers can enjoy as they implement cloud services.
