This book offers a thorough yet easy-to-read reference guide to
various aspects of cloud computing security. It begins with an
introduction to the general concepts of cloud computing, followed
by a discussion of security aspects that examines how cloud
security differs from conventional information security and
reviews cloud-specific classes of threats and attacks. A range of
varying threats in cloud computing are covered, from threats of
data loss and data breaches, to threats to availability and
threats posed by malicious insiders. Further, the book discusses
attacks launched on different levels, including attacks on the
hypervisor, and on the confidentiality of data. Newer types, such
as side-channel attacks and resource-freeing attacks, are also
described. The work closes by providing a set of general security
recommendations for the cloud.
