Abstract
In recent years, cloud computing or on-demand computing technologies and applications have become ubiquitous, permeating every aspect of our personal and professional lives. Governments and enterprises are now adopting cloud technologies for numerous applications to increase their operational efficiency, improve their responsiveness and competitiveness. For these reasons, the requirements for developing cloud applications have increased. Despite having many advantages for IT organizations, cloud has some issues that must be consider during its deployment. The main concerns are security, privacy and trust. These issues arise during the deployment of mostly public cloud infrastructure. In this chapter, security, privacy and trust issues of cloud computing deployment in Saudi Arabia were identified and the solutions to overcome these problems were discussed.

Security of Electronic Medical Records
Set of security features that control how users and systems communicate and interact with other systems and resources. They protect systems and resources from unauthorized access and can be a component that participates in defining the level of authorisation after an authentication is successful. Access control is extremely important because is one of the 1st lines of defence used to fight against unauthorized access to systems and network resources. Shon Harris, CISSP.

An MDA Compliant Approach for Designing Secure Data Warehouses
Determines what one party will allow another one to do with respect to resources and objects mediated by the former. Access control models are typically composed of a set of authorization rules that regulate access to objects. Each authorization rule usually specifies the subject to which the rule applies, the object to which the authorization refers, the action to which the rule refers, and the sign describing whether the rule states a permission or a denial for the access.
