    An Introduction to the Idea of Data Security

    • The need for data security has a very wide scope, varying from information
    that is set as public domain, through to information that needs some
    protection (perhaps access control), through to data that are highly
    sensitive, which, if leaked, could cause catastrophic damage, but
    nevertheless need to be accessed and used by selected users.
    • If we can start off our view of data security as more of a risk mitigation
    excercise and then build systems that will work with humans (i.e., human-
    centric), then perhaps the software we design for securing data in the cloud
    will be successful.
    The Current State of Data Secuirty in the Cloud
     Data Security has not developed out of cloud computing, but instead is a
    development out of the idea of the “de-perimerization” of the enterprise. This
    idea is put forward by a group of Chief Information Officers(CIO's) who
    formed an organization called the Jericho Forum.
     Jericho Forum was founded in 2004 because of the increasing need for data
    exchange between comapnies and external parties--for example:
    employees using remote computers; partner companies; customers; and so
    on.
    Homo Sapiens and Digital Information
    • Cloud computing offers individuals and organizations a much more
    fluid and open way of communicating information.This is a very
    positive move forward in communication technology, because it
    provides a more accurate mimic of the natural way that information
    is communicated between individuals and groups of human beings.
    • Snippet of Information: If the information is sensitive, it may be
    whispered, or, if written on paper, passed only to those allowed to
    read it. So the result is that human-to-human information
    communication will result in a very fluid discourse.
    • Cloud computing is a platform for creating the digital equivalent of
    this fluid, human-to-human information flow, which is something
    that internal computing networks have never quite achieved.
    • In this respect, cloud computing should be seen as a revolutionary
    move forward in the use of technology to enhance human
    communications.
    Cloud Computing and Data Security Risk
    • The most obvious risk in this scenario is that associated with the
    storage of data.
    • A user uploading (or) creating cloud-based data include those data
    that are stored and maintained by a third party cloud provider such
    as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and so on.
    • This section has several risks associated with it:
     Firstly, it is necessary to protect the data during uploading into the
    database.
     Secondly, it is necessary to store the data in the data center to
    ensure that they are encrypted at all times.
     Thirdly, the access to data need to be controlled; this control should
    also be applied to the hosting company, including the administrators
    of the data center.
