Study Notes
Security Risks in Cloud Computing
- Three main classes of security risks exist in cloud computing: traditional security threats, system availability threats, and third-party data control threats.
Traditional Security Threats
- Traditional threats are intensified due to extensive resources and large user bases, making targets more attractive for attackers.
- Attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive product information, modify database entries, or explore unauthorized database areas.
Threats Related to System Availability
- System failures, power outages, and catastrophic events pose significant risks to cloud service continuity.
- Such incidents can lead to prolonged downtimes of cloud services, impacting user access and business operations.
Threats Related to Third-Party Data Control
- Storing confidential data in the cloud carries risks associated with potential spying by cloud providers.
- The lack of control over data by users makes storing sensitive information on cloud platforms perilous.
