Cloud Security Metrics and Measurement

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the cloud security metrics by exploring the existing frameworks, integrated approaches and quantitative measurements to enhance overall security in cloud environments. This study explains several established frameworks and standards, such as the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix, NIST SP 800-53 and ISO/IEC 27001, which are important in guiding organizations towards strong security practices. Moreover, a qualitative research method has been used in this research study, conducting a literature review of past studies on the same topic. The challenges and limitations regarding cloud security have also been mentioned in this research study, which is helpful for future researchers to explore in detail and develop stronger strategies for enhancing cloud security as a whole. This research study states that the emerging threats and technologies related to cloud security must be explored continuously to develop a detailed understanding of cloud security measures.
