Privacy and security in cloud

In most aspects of the collection, use or processing of personal data, privacy and security functions overlap or coexist to some extent and at times use similar tools. Privacy and security professionals should regularly communicate to ensure that they understand each other’s responsibilities, needs, capabilities, and limitations; and keep track of the changes to the ecosystem in which the personal data is used by their organization. They also need to ensure that their efforts complement, and do not conflict with, each other, so that they can enable their organization to meet its objectives in the most efficient and cost-effective, manner. Data protection compliance is becoming increasingly risk-based. Data controllers and processors are accountable for determining and implementing in their organisations appropriate levels of protection of the personal data they process. In such a decision, they have to take into account factors such as state of the art of technology; costs of implementation; and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing; as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. To help address these challenges CSA created the How to Maintain Privacy in the Cloud CSA Research crowd-sources the knowledge and expertise of security experts and helps address the challenges and needs they’ve experienced, or seen others experience, within the cybersecurity field. Each publication is vendor-neutral and follo...

When developing a cloud security strategy, companies must take into account four types of cloud computing environments: Public cloud environments Are run by cloud service providers. In this environment servers are shared by multiple tenants. Private cloud environments Can be in a customer-owned data center or run by a public cloud service provider. In both instances, servers are single tenant, and organizations don’t have to share space with other companies. Hybrid cloud environments Are a combination of on-premises data centers and third-party clouds. Multicloud environments Include two or more cloud services operated by different cloud service providers. No matter which type of environment or combination of environments an organization uses, cloud security is intended to protect physical networks, incl...

With Azure, you are the owner of the data that you provide for storing and hosting in Azure services. We do not share your data with advertiser-supported services, nor do we mine it for any purposes like marketing research or advertising. We process your data only with your agreement, and when we have your agreement, we use your data to provide only the services you have chosen. These agreements apply equally to subcontractors (or, subprocessors) that Microsoft authorizes and hires to perform work that may require access to your data: they can perform only the functions that Microsoft has hired them to provide, and they are bound by the same contractual privacy commitments that Microsoft makes to you. If you leave the Azure service or your subscription expires, Microsoft follows strict standards for removing data from its systems. When you use Azure, you choose where your data is located. Through our large and ever-expanding network of datacenters around the globe, Microsoft offers data residency Azure allows you to choose from more than 60 regions linked by one of the largest interconnected networks on the planet, including more than 150 datacenters and growing. However, no matter where your data is stored, Microsoft does not control or limit the locations from which you or your end users may access, copy, or move customer data. Most Azure services enable you to specify the region where your customer data will be stored and processed. Azure offers tools to help you contro...

The Cloud of Things (IoT) that refers to the integration of the Cloud Computing (CC) and the Internet of Things (IoT), has dramatically changed the way treatments are done in the ubiquitous computing world. This integration has become imperative because the important amount of data generated by IoT devices needs the CC as a storage and processing infrastructure. Unfortunately, security issues in CoT remain more critical since users and IoT devices continue to share computing as well as networking resources remotely. Moreover, preserving data privacy in such an environment is also a critical concern. Therefore, the CoT is continuously growing up security and privacy issues. This paper focused on security and privacy considerations by analyzing some potential challenges and risks that need to be resolved. To achieve that, the CoT architecture and existing applications have been investigated. Furthermore, a number of security as well as privacy concerns and issues as well as open challenges, are discussed in this work.
