Catastrophe in the Cloud: How Cloud Computing Can Threaten Business Security

By IGI Global on Mar 26, 2013
The benefits of cloud computing are innumerable, including reduced operating costs, improved resource utilization, and less IT ownership, making it an ideal situation for many organizations. More and more businesses are moving a wide range of applications into cloud environments. But database security concerns remain a significant problem for cloud adoption. When your applications are running on a cloud provider’s infrastructure, the provider is responsible for ensuring the security of its operations, facilities, network, hosts, and other components. But responsibility for securing your data ultimately rests with you, as do the consequences of failure.

IGI Global's Cloud Computing Advancements in Design, Implementation, and Technologies outlines advancements in the state-of-the-art standards and practices of cloud computing, in an effort to identify emerging trends that will ultimately define the future of the cloud.

Cloud Computing Advancements in Design, Implementation, and Technologies further discusses how to assess and control the concerns and issues pertaining to the security and risk management implementations.
