Cloud computing data breaches a socio-technical review of literature

Abstract

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.

Information leakage detection and protection of leaked information by using the MAC-IP binding technique

“…AES is a symmetric algorithm which includes a series of substitution and permutation steps to create the block for encryption which is encrypted block. Firstly, DES implementation was made a great enrichment to data security, but one could say that for the AES algorithm has been better than the DES in terms of random key generation [37]. AES was also taken as the random bit key generated based on time so it shows more secure for the encryption to the data which are received by the unauthorized user.…”

A Comparative Evaluation of Data Leakage/Loss Prevention Systems (DLPS)

“…Mitigating data leakage from insider threats is a difficult challenge [2], [3]. Data leakage can occur in many forms and in any place [4], [5]. In survey of United States in 2014, Cybercrime emphasize on the seriousness of attacks caused by insiders of the companies.…”

“…Safety measures for Data-in-Use: Local agents and host machines regularly check sensitive data such as data copied from one location and pasted into another location, data from print screen, unauthorized data transmission and copying data to a USB/CD/DVD [5].…”
