Cloud computing is becoming the trend of information technology computational model and the cloud security is becoming a major issue in adopting the cloud for large customers [28]. Such concerns are driven by the multitenancy situation where more than one tenant are utilizing the same physical computer hardware and sharing the same software and data [1]. This has associated risks where confidentiality and/or integrity can be violated [28]. Therefore in order to propose effective security solutions and strategies a good knowledge of the current cloud implementations and practices must be acquired [28]. Such knowledge is needed in order to recognize attack vectors and attack surfaces [28]. This paper explores the specific risks in cloud computing due to multitenancy and the measures that can be taken to mitigate those risks. Before that a clear understanding of multitenancy and its benefits are demonstrated.

“…Cloud users may think that Cloud computing simplifies security issues for users by outsourcing the responsibility to another party who is presumed to be highly skilled in such matters (Anthes, 2010). Industry practitioners have reported that security was a critical concern in the initial stages of Cloud computing adoption (Chakraborty et al, 2010;McCabe & Hancock, 2009). Bhayal (2011) stated that Cloud security is the most important concern among Cloud clients, as the data owner does not know where the data are stored and data hosts cannot be considered completely reliable.…”

New national infrastructure initiatives such as the National Broadband Network (NBN) allow small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Australia to have greater access to costeffective Cloud computing. However, the ability of Cloud computing to store data remotely and share services in a dynamic environment brings with it security and privacy concerns. Evaluating these concerns is critical to address the Cloud computing underutilisation issue and leverage the benefits of costly NBN investment. This paper examines the influence of privacy and security factors on Cloud adoption by Australian SMEs in metropolitan and regional area. Data were collected from 150 Australian SMEs (specifically, 79 metropolitan SMEs and 71 regional SMEs) and structural equation modelling was used for the analysis. The findings reveal that privacy and security factors do not significantly influence the decision-making of Australian SMEs in the adoption of Cloud computing. Moreover, the results indicate that Cloud computing adoption is not influenced by the geographical location (i.e., metropolitan or regional location) of the SMEs. The findings extend the current understanding of Cloud computing adoption by Australian SMEs. The results will be useful to SMEs, Cloud service providers and policy makers devising Cloud security and privacy policies.

“…This approach to application delivery is part of the utility computing model where all of the technology is in the "cloud" accessed over the Internet as a service. It is an approach whereby data is permanently stored on remote servers accessible via the Internet and cached temporarily on client devices that may include desktops, tablet computers, notebooks, handheld devices, mobile phones, etc., and is frequently called Software as a Service (SaaS) [9].…”

Cloud Computing is a type of parallel and distributed system consisting of a collection of interconnected and virtualized computers that are dynamically provisioned and presented as one or more unified computing resources based on a service-level agreement. The success of the forthcoming endeavors of human civilization depends on the proper utilization of the resources which are becoming scarce day by day. It is observed that while some people have ability to use the resources, some other people with disabilities are suffering from it. This discrimination could be wiped out by a proper management and strategy adopted by the Government of different countries in the form of a properly implemented and managed E-Governance. This paper arises from our quest to understand how to design a SaaS (Software as a Service) support for more and government to explore emerging opportunities and challenges presented by "cloud computing," specifically on how it might help or hinder a more "accessible" future for people with special access needs. The existing e-Governance frameworks cannot address all categories of users. The research is intended to propose a new effective framework of E-Governance based on cloud computing concept, which would be intelligent as well as accessible by all, including people with disabilities.

The Information Assurance Practices of Cloud Computing Vendors

Abstract: Cloud computing has fostered many concerns about security, privacy, and business integrity. How do information assurance practices differ based on a cloud vendor's service offering, amount of online traffic, and company size?
