2. Mission Statement
To provide a detailed assessment on the security concerns of cloud computing
Specifically in relation to:
Infrastructure as a Service
Public cloud

3. Background Cloud computing is separated into three service models:
Infrastructure as a Service
Platform as a Service
Software as a Service
And four deployment models:
Public cloud
Private cloud
Community cloud
Hybrid cloud

4. Significance
Cloud computing is becoming a major aspect in the IT environment
Many businesses, organizations, and agencies all implement the cloud
Becoming more popular for hackers/organized crime
While in its infancy, now is the perfect time to shape the cloud around a secure environment
Major losses can happen
Must take preventative action!

5. Up to date completion… Background information on cloud computing
Significance of topic

6. Remaining Tasks… Pick out specific security flaws:
Since dealing with IaaS we can look at physical flaws to networking:
Vandalizing servers, machines, cables
Also look at software flaws:
What can compromise a virtualized machine?
Malicious software
Physical damage to a machine hosting virtualized operating systems
What is a public security flaw?
For one, easily accessible to EVERYONE. Users/hackers

7. Conclusion Cloud computing is the future of the IT world
Security of the cloud is VERY important
Infrastructures rely on the cloud to:
Conduct efficient business practices
Minimize cost associated with resources
Rid IT systems of duplicate software/hardware
Security risks compromise these aspects
