“…The third reason is more pragmaticsince there was relatively little interest and support from the industry, which would drive and advance the security research in grids, research efforts focussed on more relevant issues. In this light, cloud computing can be seen as a representative example; it is a highly commercialised and industry-driven research area, where security and privacy have been admitted by the major market influencers to be the key preventing factor since the very emergence of clouds [23].…”

Abstract-Grid computing systems are complex and dynamic systems and therefore require appropriate automated management, which would enable stable and reliable operation of the whole grid environment. The research community has addressed this requirement with a number of monitoring frameworks, which serve to collect data at various levels to support decision taking and management activities within grids. However, these existing solutions seem to implement little support for collecting security-related data and enforcing appropriate security policies and constraints in this respect. With an increasing role of network connections and users remotely accessing computational resources from various locations, grid systems are no longer seen as localised and isolated ecosystems, but are coming to be more open and distributed. In this light, it is becoming more and more important to enable monitoring framework with capabilities to collect security-related data and check whether these observations comply with certain security constraints. Accordingly, this paper presents a survey of existing grid monitoring systems with a goal to identify an existing gap of insufficient support for handling the security dimension in grids. The survey suggests that available grid monitoring frameworks are incapable of collecting security-related data metrics and evaluating them against a set of security policies. As a first step towards addressing this issue, the paper outlines several groups of security policies, which the authors expect to be further incorporated in their own research work, and by the wider community.

“…They emphasise that they cannot adopt cloud computing if the cloud service is not compliant with GCS6. Cloud vendors will have to provide some assurance in the SLA (Kandukuri et al, 2009;Moreno-Vozmediano et al, 2013). "If you start to house some of that data in the cloud you may have some problems with complying with that …" As regards individual privacy, Council C argues information assurance and data security "are all part of any procurement we would do, they would be key requirements for whether it was cloud, traditional hosting or in-house.…”

This chapter considers the key characteristics of cloud computing, which is defined as a scalable network infrastructure where consumers receive IT services such as software applications and data storage through the Internet on a subscription basis. It reviews what are considered to be the general benefits to client organisations of utilizing cloud supplied IT services. These include long-term cost savings, simpler client owned IT infrastructure and reduced energy consumption through utilisation of more efficient supply-side infrastructure. The chapter then focuses on the potential for use of cloud based services in Central and local government in the UK, and to what extent these are already being considered. As part of this appraisal by government, concerns have been raised over issues such as security, access, data protection and ownership, and this chapter seeks to interrogate the perceived positive and negative drivers to local government cloud utilisation using a conceptual framework and case studies of four London borough councils. It reveals that the concept of cloud computing is new and not clearly understood within UK local government. Local authorities, who face further cuts in government funding despite the wider economic recovery, welcome a cloud-based IT infrastructure which may lead to considerable savings. Yet government is institutionally conservative with a risk-adverse attitude, so local authorities are more likely to adopt a hybrid approach to the implementation of cloud computing strategies. Concerns over data security and privacy may be overcome through careful compliance with relevant laws and standards.
