Do some Internet research to identify businesses who have suffered because of cloud security weaknesses or failures. What can companies who are contemplating cloud computing services learn from the negative experiences of these businesses? Most of us have been heard about the most cloud security failures in which all the cloud technology companies are continued to mature, they still suffer the same type of issues in-house infrastructure’s. Cloud computing has become a biggest market in today’s technology. In a report of 2016, analysts at Gartner predicted that transferring to cloud is going to affect $1 Trillion in Information technology in the next five years. Cloud services market has grown to an extent level that it was not a notable percentage of total it is spending, which was helping to generate new technologies and start-ups which are born in the cloud. When cloud services are going offline or software and websites will fail it can always results in huge business problems.
Virtualization majorly comes from different forms this was distinguished primarily by the layer in which the computing system to which virtualization is applied. All virtualization forms will have an entity called a hyper visor or virtual machine monitor (VMM). This is the major central unit which controls all the functions of the virtualization programs interact with beyond the layers. Application virtualization is the virtual implementation of the application programming interface which enables the programs to run on different platforms by providing them all the virtual API. Operation system virtualization is called as virtual implementation of an operating system where all the operating system programs where written for that operating system can run.
Choose one of the following cloud services categories: SaaS, IaaS, PaaS. Do some Internet research that focuses the security issues associated with the selected cloud service category. Summarize the major security risks associated with the cloud service category and identify mechanisms that can be used to address these risks.
Cloud computing networks which are more highly concentrated to the traditional network systems, in which the large part is always because of the virtualization technology which always allows a single server to hold to many virtual mechanic systems and potentially the data of multiple customers. “If a server that has been hacked holds 15 virtual machines, “now 15 machines are at risk rather than one at a time.”
