Cloud computing and security: How valid are the infosec concerns?

As a buzzword, cloud computing has gained its own fair share of attention as a computing delivery medium among enterprises. However, cloud computing-related information security concerns are still preventing many Indian organizations from experimenting with this form of service delivery.

• The most prominent cloud computing related security concerns.
• Are we ready to put mission critical-applications on the public cloud?
• Which form of cloud computing is most vulnerable — infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) or software as a service (SaaS)?
• The information security attacks that enterprises should look out for when it comes to cloud computing security.
