Articles about Cloud Security
Software Engineering Meets Services and Cloud Computing
In this IEEE article, authors Stephen Yau and Ho An talk about application development using service-oriented architecture and cloud computing technologies. They also discuss application development challenges like security in a multi-tenant environment, quality-of-service monitoring, and mobile computing.
Regulatory Compliant Cloud Computing: Rethinking web application architectures for the cloud
Not all data is sensitive and hence an equal and balanced investment in securing all data categories is not justified. This article presents an architecture that leverages cloud-computing, cloud-storage and enterprise key-management Infrastructure(EKMI) to lower costs while complying to data-security regulations.
Architecting a Cloud-Scale Identity Fabric
In this IEEE article, author Eric Olden discusses an identity fabric that links multiple applications to a single identity to manage the volume of user identities that network administrators must secure and to enable a full-scale cloud adoption.
Presentations about Cloud Security
Cloud Security or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cloud
While Cloud Computing offers increased business agility and reduced cost, many are worried about security: loss of control and lack of confidentiality. Presented by Alon Hazy and Jakob Illeborg Pagter, this talk looks at the threat landscape, then examines how to secure cloud solutions today and in the future.
Architecting the Ultimate Control-Point-Advanced Cyber-Threat Mitigation
Blake Dournaee presents Intel’s Service Gateway, a security control point meant to secure on-premise and in the cloud .NET or Java platforms from various security threats like spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, DoS, elevation of privilege, all of that in the context of today’s REST or SOAP web services.
SOA Governance: Where the Rubber Meets the Runtime
Harold van Aalst explains the need to use proper governance for SOA implementations by defining the rules, policies and standards to follow and having a tool to monitor them at runtime in order to discover when they are broken to be able to act on time. Beside the usual design-time governance, Aalst details on Development, Deployment and Runtime Governance.
