Cloud computing is one of the next significant stage in the Internet’s evolution, providing the means through which everything – from computing power to computing infrastructure, applications, business processes to personal collaboration – can be delivered to you as a service wherever and whenever you need.
The “cloud” in cloud computing can be defined as the set of hardware, networks, storage, services, and interfaces that combine to deliver aspects of computing as a service. Cloud service models are based on three categories; Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Services (SaaS).
Consumer Cloud Computing services has been well established eversince mainstream Internet. Well known examples are WebMail services and social networking platforms. However the adoption of Cloud Computing within the Enterprise sector has been slow. This slow uptake in Cloud services that promises so much has been primarily influenced by the numerous security risks, concerns and challenges posed within such an environment.
Governance, Risk and Compliance factors of Cloud Services need to be fully assessed by organizations to provide informed judgments. Data and Information lifecycle, source and origination, transfer, destination, validation and deletion all need to be understood. Transborder data flow of sensitive information resulting in litigation have to be approved by legal team. Periodic right for 3rd party audit clause, frequent reporting mechanisms of security violations and a clearly defined service level agreement. With Cloud providers utilizing shared pool of resources, virtualization and isolation capabilities need to be questioned along with identity access control and management frameworks. Encryption key lifecycle of virtualized environments, portability of information if your organization decides to move to another Cloud provider are just some critical factors to consider.
