Security Challenges

Method(s)

Data Centre

1. Design a basic layout for the Data Centre such that secure cloud services are provided by cloud provider to the user

2. Continuously monitor security related threats and provide solutions such as data replication and hot-site recovery service, if the need arises

Policy Creation and Control

1. Security policy will be drafted by Governing Body to ensure the security at all layers

2. Cloud Provider and Governing Body will collaborate to implement and control the features in the security policy.

User Awareness

1. The governing body will need to specify all the procedures and methods that a cloud provider and user need to follow

2. Filter the information and make the users aware of the security features without leaking any confidential information.

3. central body convey right information at right time to right parties involved in the environment in an automated fashion

Legal Control

1. Governing body would acquire global laws pertaining to the cloud operation and take care of all the legal matters related to global cloud operations so that the Cloud Provider can focus its resources on making the cloud safe, secure and efficient.

Performance Evaluation

1. Assess the performance of the cloud provider based on the security parameters and estimate the efficiency and the threat index of the provider’s operations.

2. Governing Body will then rank all the cloud providers based on their efficiency.

Conflict and Dispute Resolution

1. This will be done with the help of threat index that computes security parameters of which, conflicts are a part.

2. If the cloud provider is found guilty in a dispute, its license will be revoked.
