Cloud computing allows for both large and small organizations to have
the opportunity to use Internet-based services so that they can reduce
start-up costs, lower capital expenditures, use services on a
pay-as-you-use basis, access applications only as needed, and quickly
reduce or increase capacities. However, these benefits are accompanied
by a myriad of security issues, and this valuable book tackles the
most common security challenges that cloud computing faces.
The authors offer you years of unparalleled expertise and knowledge
as they discuss the extremely challenging topics of data ownership,
privacy protections, data mobility, quality of service and service
levels, bandwidth costs, data protection, and support.
As the most current and complete guide to helping you find your way
through a maze of security minefields, this book is mandatory reading
if you are involved in any aspect of cloud computing.
