Cloud Security

A book by Ronald L. Krutz, Russell Dean Vines, ISBN



Cloud computing provides the capability to use computing and storage resources on a metered basis and reduce the investments in an organization’s computing infrastructure. The spawning and deletion of virtual machines running on physical hardware and being controlled by hypervisors is a cost-efficient and flexible computing paradigm. In addition, the integration and widespread availability of large amounts of “sanitized’ information such as health care records can be of tremendous benefit to researchers and practitioners. However, as with any technology, the full potential of the cloud cannot be achieved without understanding its capabilities, vulnerabilities, advantages, and trade-offs. This text provides insight into these areas and describes methods of achieving the maximum benefit from cloud computation with minimal risk.
