Security Issues Model on Cloud Computing: A Case of Malaysia

Abstract

By developing the cloud computing, viewpoint of many people regarding the infrastructure architectures, software distribution and improvement model changed significantly. Cloud computing associates with the pioneering deployment architecture, which could be done through grid calculating, effectiveness calculating and autonomic calculating. The fast transition towards that, has increased the worries regarding a critical issue for the effective transition of cloud computing. From the security viewpoint, several issues and problems were discussed regarding the cloud transfer. The goal of this study is to represent a general security viewpoint of cloud computing through signifying the security problems that must be focused and accomplished appropriately for identifying a better perspective about current world of cloud computing. This research also is to clarify the particular interrelationships existing between cloud computing security and other associated variables such as data security, virtual machine security, application security and privacy. In addition, a model of cloud computing security which depends on the investigation regarding previous studies has been developed. To examine the model a type of descriptive survey is applied. The survey sample population is selected from employers and managers IT companies in Malaysia. By testing the correlation, the results of study indicated that there are those identified security challenges in current world of cloud computing. Furthermore, the results showed that the cloud computing security correlation with data security, virtual machine security, application security and privacy is positive.
