Abstract

Cloud Computing is a distributed architecture that centralizes server resources on a scalable platform so as to provide on demand computing resources and services. Cloud computing has become a variable platform for companies to build their infrastructures upon. If companies are to consider taking advantage of cloud based systems, they will be faced with the task of seriously re-assessing their current security strategy, as well as the cloud-specific aspects that need to be assessed. The authors outline in this chapter what cloud computing is, the various cloud deployment models, and the main security risks and issues that are currently present within the cloud computing industry.
