Cloud computing is transforming the way businesses buy IT services, offering immense potential financial benefits in today's economic environment. However, before companies take full advantage of the cloud, they must address profound and legitimate security concerns. Cloud Computing Security is the first book that helps decision-makers and technology professionals clarify the real security issues associated with cloud deployments, and systematically address each of these challenges. Leading enterprise and cloud security experts Kunjal Trivedi and Keith Pasley thoroughly review the entire IT service security life cycle, offering best practice solutions for each phase. In Part I, they identify the changes associated with cloud computing deployments, together with corresponding security issues. In Part II, they present systematic security solutions for architecture, design, deployment, and operations. Next, they address crucial demand-side drivers for security, and present a complete case study based on an organization with 50,000+ employees. Coverage includes: * How "old security thinking" must change in cloud environments * Managing risks and knowing "where the buck stops" * Addressing crucial compliance and legal issues * Building a security-driven cloud computing architecture * Leveraging emerging cloud computing security frameworks * Implementing best practices for secure cloud computing operations and more
