An Impact of Cloud Computing on Cyber Security in Controlling the Proliferation of Cyber Crime

Opportunities for the exploitation due to weakness in information security are multiplying because of the exponential growth of internet connections. It is important to know that how the data and the systems on which the data resides or transmitted are kept secured. The best way to predict future computing trends is to look at the recent developments and their motivations. Organizations are moving towards outsourcing their data storage, computations, and even user desktop environments. This trend towards Cloud Computing has a direct impact on Cyber security: rather than securing user machines, preventing malware access and managing removable media, a cloud based security scheme must focus on enabling secure communication with remote systems. Cloud computing has formed the conceptual and infrastructural basis for tomorrow's computing. Cloud computing advocates promise on-demand delivery of these massive, warehouse-scale computing resources simply and easily through a network browser. This paper presents a review on the Cloud Computing concepts as well as security issues inherent within the context of cloud computing and cloud infrastructure.
