A strengthening plan for enterprise information security based on cloud computing

Abstract

Cloud computing environment came about in order to effectively manage and use enormous amount of data that have become available with the development of the Internet. Cloud computing service is widely used not only to manage the users' IT resources, but also to use enterprise IT resources in an effective manner. Various security threats have occurred while using cloud computing and plans for reaction are much needed, since they will eventually elevate to security threats to enterprise information. Plans to strengthen the security of enterprise information by using cloud security will be proposed in this research. These cloud computing security measures must be supported by the governmental policies. Publications on guidelines to information protection will raise awareness among the users and service providers. System of reaction must be created in order to constantly monitor and to promptly respond to any security accident. Therefore, both technical countermeasures and governmental policy must be supported at the same time. Cloud computing service is expanding more than ever, thus active research on cloud computing security is expected.
