Systems Engineering Processes for the Development and Deployment of Secure Cloud Applications

Background

Systems Engineering incorporates systematic and comprehensive approach to modelling, designing, and developing enterprise systems includes software and service based systems. Caminao project (2013) provides a comprehensive framework for systems engineering methods and concepts. The Internet technology has revolutionised the way we live on daily basis. The use of Internet is growing rapidly from devices, appliances and cloud computing which has emerged to address cost-effective solution for businesses. However, security is the most common security concerns of all. Therefore, security for cloud computing is the main aim of this article. The everyday cloud applications and apps can be protected using commonly available anti-security software packages. However, it is harder to protect us from security related attacks which emerges unexpectedly and are often hard to predict. This isn’t sufficient for cloud service providers who offer three different types of services such as Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Therefore, there is a need for going beyond boundaries of existing security techniques such as password protection, virus checks, secured financial transaction techniques, etc. The following are categories of broad spectrum of security related research that are under taken:
