“…Privacy and security represent important challenges and potential barriers, both for organisations considering adopting and those currently relying on cloud services and cloud service providers (Alashoor 2014;Fauzi et al 2012). A host of researchers have stressed the importance of addressing privacy in the cloud computing context (e.g.…”

“…However, advances in technology have shifted the focus from a predominantly physical construct to a digital one, and from organisational control to an individual's control of their personal information. While discussions regarding the potential security and privacy issues within cloud computing are largely centered around adoption at an organisational level, there are many consumer issues which warrant consideration (Alashoor 2014). This chapter focuses on privacy from the IS perspective where privacy is defined as an individual's ability to personally control information about themselves and how it is disseminated (Smith et al 1996;Bélanger and Crossler 2011).…”

“…Control is a perception based variable and has been defined as an individual's beliefs in their ability to manage the collection and use of their personal data (Xu et al 2011). In the cloud context, it has been noted that consumers are afforded little or no control over their information (Alashoor 2014). In other contexts, a lack of perceived control can heighten privacy concerns (Dinev and Hart 2004), whereas if perceived control is high, individuals may be empowered to adopt technologies and disclose more personal information (Palmatier and Martin 2019).…”

The recent increase in highly publicised cloud breaches, coupled with issues surrounding transparency and control in the cloud, highlights the importance of understanding and addressing privacy in this context. The extant cloud privacy literature has a tendency to focus on technical solutions to address security and privacy together, but a small emerging body of literature acknowledges the importance of consumers’ privacy perceptions in the context of cloud computing. Given the breadth of cloud applications and the situational nature of privacy, it is imperative to unpack the role of privacy in this complex domain. This chapter leverages the broader privacy literature in the Information Systems field to identify potential measures to enhance consumer privacy in the cloud context and highlights a number of paths for research to further our knowledge of consumer privacy perceptions in the various cloud contexts.

“…Although Cloud computing is providing numerous benefits, there are some barriers hindering its complete adoption by most organizations. The main concern of these organizations is the security and privacy of their data and information [2][3][4][5]. Cloud computing is a combination of various other technologies: Virtualization, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and Web 2.0 [6].…”

The shift to Cloud computing has brought with it its specific security challenges concerning the loss of control, trust and multi-tenancy especially in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Cloud model. This article focuses on the design and development of an intrusion detection system (IDS) that can handle security challenges in IaaS Cloud model using an open source IDS. We have implemented a proof-of-concept prototype on the most deployed hypervisor—VMware ESXi—and performed various real-world cyber-attacks, such as port scanning and denial of service (DoS) attacks to validate the practicality and effectiveness of our proposed IDS architecture. Based on our experimental results we found that our Security Onion-based IDS can provide the required protection in a reasonable and effective manner.

“…Whether to utilize cloud computing or internal IT resources for business purposes is a critical decision for organizations and decision makers [10]. For companies, the cloud evaluation and investment decision to minimize the total computing costs requires a basic understanding of the relationships between the cost of computing resources, a penalty for computer downtime, and a probability distribution of the computing demand.…”

While the rapid growth of cloud computing is driven by the surge of big data, the Internet of Things, and social media applications, an evaluation and investment decision for cloud computing has been challenging for corporate managers due to a lack of proper decision models. This paper attempts to identify critical variables for making a cloud capacity decision from a corporate customer's perspective and develops a base mathematical model to aid in a hybrid cloud investment decision under probabilistic computing demands. The identification of the critical variables provides a means by which a corporate customer can effectively evaluate various cloud capacity investment opportunities. Critical variables included in this model are an actual computing demand, the amount of private cloud capacity purchased, the purchase cost of the private cloud capacity, the price of the public cloud, and the default downtime loss/penalty cost. Extending the base model developed, this paper also takes into consideration the interoperability cost incurred in cloud bursting to the public cloud and derives the optimal investment. The interoperable cloud systems require time and investment by the users and/or cloud providers and there exists a diminishing return on the investment. Hence, the relationship between the interoperable cloud investment and return on investment is also investigated.
