About this book

This book analyzes the latest advances in privacy, security and risk technologies within cloud environments. With contributions from leading experts, the text presents both a solid overview of the field and novel, cutting-edge research. A Glossary is also included at the end of the book. Topics and features: considers the various forensic challenges for legal access to data in a cloud computing environment; discusses privacy impact assessments for the cloud, and examines the use of cloud audits to attenuate cloud security problems; reviews conceptual issues, basic requirements and practical suggestions for provisioning dynamically configured access control services in the cloud; proposes scoped invariants as a primitive for analyzing a cloud server for its integrity properties; investigates the applicability of existing controls for mitigating information security risks to cloud computing environments; describes risk management for cloud computing from an enterprise perspective.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“The volume consists of eight chapters across four headings, covering different aspects of privacy and security issues in cloud computing. … this informative volume … provides not only a comprehensive overview but also proposed practical solutions on how to increase privacy and security in cloud computing. The book will be beneficial to business professionals and researchers working in this area.” (Monika Zalnieriute, Privacy Laws & Business, International Report, Issue 124, August, 2013)

"This book offers insight into some of the issues in cloud computing that need immediate attention. The contributors and editors have done a good job in producing this book when it is most needed; it should stimulate research into privacy and security in cloud computing." (S. V. Nagaraj, ACM Computing Reviews, May 17 2013, Review #: CR141225)
