Cloud Security

More and more companies are moving their computing platform to cloud. Cloud computing provides a model for that is ubiquitous, convenient, and enables on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, virtual machines, Hypervisors, storage, applications, and services). These resources are elastic in nature and the user does not have to be concerned about resource shortages and can concentrate in their bread & butter operation. Cloud computing provides the opportunities for cost reduction through optimized and efficient computing. The cloud service model can be Software-as-Service (SaaS) or Platform-as-Service (PaaS) or Infrastructure-as-Service (PaaS) depending upon what the user wants to offer. An organization can opt for a private cloud or offer their services through a public cloud. Many companies select the hybrid model which is mix of on-prem and cloud offerings
