SOME TRENDS OF CLOUD COMPUTING SECURITY

Cloud computing is a modern trend today. This trend is internationally accepted in order to catch-up the development of technology. Software businesses need to concern about the investment and conversion toward the developing trend of cloud computing services. This article will bring to you some useful information about some popular trends of cloud computing security:

1.Concerns about standards

Organizations still need to learn and understand about the processes and standards, so as to manage data and applications in the cloud effectively. This issue will have a large effect on the safety data on cloud computing.

 2. Data connection on Smart phones

Users will be able to access a large volume of data on devices they choose .This leads to numerous security problems that are not anticipated. One of them is the unsecure problem when backing up important data on the mobile device to the cloud service. Also, in case mobile devices are lost or stolen, they can be used to access with the highest right to the data and services on cloud platforms.

 3.Better identity management

The nature of cloud computing is virtualization and high convergence, there should have an approach to establish controls and identity management with the aim to distinguish your cloud and other’s.

4. Risks of renting cloud

Many people believe that most cloud services are already using the virtualization technology .However, as data of many organizations are located on the same physical virtualization platform, risks related to data can still occur. In theory, virtual machines and virtual network components are separated, but in fact there were some vulnerabilities and secure weaknesses exist in the virtualization platform causing problems of storage segment.

5. Standards and certifications related to cloud computing

Standardization and certification will become more important as they help customers to assess their data security .These also become important criteria in the selection of service providers. Customers using cloud services will continue to push the use of existing processes and knowledge to estimate the security level of cloud computing services that they are using. Besides, they also will begin to pay more attention to some guidelines and standards offered by organization of cloud computing.
