German researchers say they found errors in Amazon Web Services (AWS), and they believe that similar errors exist in many cloud architectures that could lead to an attacker acquiring administrative privileges to steal data from all users. While the researchers say they have informed AWS about these vulnerabilities, and AWS has fixed them, they think the same type of attack is equally effective for other cloud services, "because the relevant Web service standards do not match performance and security." "A team of researchers at the University of Bochum in Germany uses a variety of XML signatures to encapsulate ...

Introduction Cloud application developers and DevOps have successfully developed tens of thousands of applications for IaaS (Amazon AWS, Rackspace, etc.) and PAAs (Azure, Google App Engine, Cloud Foundry, etc.) platforms. These platforms provide basic security mechanisms such as authentication, Dos attack defense, firewall policy Management, logging, basic user and account management, but security concerns remain the primary obstacle to enterprise cloud implementations. Security concerns for the cloud, deploying from a secure configuration ...

As the computing stack moves down, customers control the number of public cloud computing services, increasing, software as a service (SaaS) is rarely even zero, infrastructure as a service (IaaS) accounted for the vast majority. The same goes for cloud security: Software as a service and the responsibility to secure the platform and infrastructure are clearly on the providers. But as the stack gets deeper, things get worse. When it comes to IaaS, there is no clear line between the provider and the user's security responsibilities. The responsibility for defining boundaries falls on the client. Implementation of the Cloud Security Alliance, an organization that promotes best practices and enhances cloud security training ...

For opsource--We don't mention Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rackspace, Terremark, and other businesses – the answer is a 2-tier VLAN. In the Opsource case, the user connects to the cloud using either a VPN client or a station-arrival VPN tunnel. This approach makes the public cloud an extension of the private cloud, making it a secure hybrid cloud. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) spent 30 days in 2009 building and testing for President Obama's "helping consumers back ..."

It leaks have raised public concerns about cloud security. To limit potential problems, enterprises must consider governance requirements, tools, providers, and more. The security of applications and data is critical to any enterprise, but responsibility is not evenly distributed. As a result, it organizations need to develop a cloud security strategy that will identify compliance policies or principles that the rest of the enterprise needs to comply with. The public cloud eliminates part of the infrastructure and management overhead of traditional data centers, but the burden of meeting cloud governance needs rests with the IT department. In the changing ...
