“…Several authors [13][14][15] agree security concerns are among one of the biggest issues that will enable growth in cloud computing services. The use of public clouds demands tighter restrictions on cloud providers to incorporate into their service models.…”

“…Kshetri [15] elaborates that security and privacy issues come to the fore as customers start to be concerned that data may be used without the explicit consent of the end-user. To complement the latter, [13] details further concerns such as loss of control over data via malicious or un-malicious intent, an issue that can never be completely eradicated.…”

“…To critique the former, [20] state that security mechanisms that involve encryption key solutions degrade performance levels and do not meet scalability requirements in cloud computing environments. With the issues of performance and scalability on encryption keys, Esayas [13] also elaborates that encryption keys might not meet business requirements as the effectiveness of such a technique is not suitable for all cloud computing services. Implementing security is essential in overall cloud models, although it increases overheads that diminish the return and benefits.…”

As more and more personal, enterprise and government data, services and infrastructure moves to the cloud for storage and processing, the potential for data breaches increases. Already major corporations that have outsourced some of their IT requirements to the cloud have become victims of cyber attacks. Who is responsible and how to respond to these data breaches are just two pertinent questions facing cloud computing stakeholders who have entered an agreement on cloud services. This paper reviews literature in the domain of cloud computing data breaches using a socio-technical approach. Sociotechnical theory encapsulates three major dimensions-the social, the technical, and the environmental. The outcomes of the search are presented in a thematic analysis. The 7 key themes identified from the literature included: security, data availability, privacy, trust, data flow, service level agreements, and regulation. The paper considers complex issues, preempting the need for a better way to deal with breaches that not only affect the enterprise and cloud computing provider, but more importantly, end-users who rely on online services and have had their credentials compromised.

“…In the emergent cloud computing scenario, it poses a significant regulatory challenge on the application of data protection rules particularly on the regime regulating cross-border data flow. For example, with respect to the EU based protecting directives context as the rights and responsibilities in specific are not available in clear and transparent in finding information with regard to the existence of cloud that spans across multiple data centres, comprehensive reconciliation of data could pose a compliance issue against Article 25 prohibition on the extra-EU transfer of personal data with respect to virtualization and ad hoc data access and storage as mentioned in passing [50]. Protecting a user's account from theft is an instance of a larger problem of controlling access to objects including memory devices and software [46].…”

The rapid growth of mobile telecommunications industry has been influencing the tremendous technological diffusion offering lower access cost, mobility, and convenience based communication as compared to wired telecom. The global rise of mobile competition helped service providers to offer much improved services both in terms of capabilities, information processing, retrieval, and communication over typical problems of inefficiencies generated by monopolies in wired networks. While there are significant opportunities to leverage the growth of mobile devices to increase the effectiveness of mobile users, also there are significant concerns about security and privacy of sensitive data that must be handled in these devices. Correspondingly, cyber security is becoming one of the top priorities for any nation. This paper reviews and presents some of the literature exercises in this regard. Objectives of this paper are: (i) to bring into light the explicit and implicit assumptions on the nature of technological change and how they could raise security issues, (ii) to discuss the technology and management perspectives on the security issues, and (iii) to present them through a methodology oriented taxonomy. It is believed that the adoption of methodology driven by sense-and-respond model would serve as an effective means to achieve these objectives.
