“…With the advent of new technologies based on artificial intelligence, computer vision and big data, the demand for computing power has increased astronomically. Today, the emphasis on information technology (IT) solutions has shifted to flexible, globally accessible services which can be accessed at any time on any device (Varghese and Buyya, 2018; Hassan et al , 2019). This requires that the data, computing capability and software application be flexible and remotely accessible.…”

“…Soomro’s research (Soomro et al , 2016) and similar literature summarize the management aspect of information security (Salleh et al , 2012; Jouini and Rabai, 2017; Carturan and Goya, 2019; Cruz et al , 2015), but their findings and insights do not extend to a detailed discussion of cloud security. Recommended management actions for cloud security can be found in published research and standards (Carturan and Goya, 2019; Hassan et al , 2019; Gozman and Willcocks, 2019; NIST, 2013; ISO/IEC, 2005), but they are mixed with technical actions. It was found that information security is impacted by numerous management actions (ISO/IEC, 2005; NIST, 2013; Rebollo et al , 2015; Koohang et al , 2020; ISO/IEC, 2013).…”

“…These forms are the broad delineations of the services; a mix or hybrid of the above-mentioned services can also be provided. Cloud computing has been successfully adopted in recent years because it promises reduced complexity and flexibility while scaling up or down, reduced overhead and reduced costs (Hassan et al , 2019; Salleh et al , 2012; Raza et al , 2015). There are three general types of cloud deployments: private cloud, community cloud and public cloud.…”

“…In the community cloud, a group of clients with common concerns and requirements share the facilities. A public cloud is accessible to all and is usually hosted by the government or academia (Hassan et al , 2019). In addition, clients have heterogeneous cloud solutions consisting of multiple vendors because of the advent of containerization and serverless computing (Varghese and Buyya, 2018).…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore key management actions for implementing security on the cloud, which is a critical issue as many organizations are moving business processes and data on it. The cloud is a flexible, low cost and highly available technology, but it comes with increased complexity in maintaining the cloud consumer’s security. In this research, a model was built to assist strategic decision-makers in choosing from a diverse range of actions that can be taken to manage cloud security. Design/methodology/approach Published research from 2010 to 2022 was reviewed to identify alternatives to management actions pertaining to cloud security. Analytical hierarchical process (AHP) was applied to rate the most important action(s). For this, the alternatives, along with selection criteria, were summarized through thematic analysis. To gauge the relative importance of the alternatives, a questionnaire was distributed among cloud security practitioners to poll their opinion. AHP was then applied to the aggregated survey responses. Findings It was found that the respondents gave the highest importance to aligning information security with business needs. Building a cloud-specific risk management framework was rated second, while the actions: enforce and monitor contractual obligations, and update organizational structure, were rated third and fourth, respectively. Research limitations/implications The research takes a general view without catering to specialized industry-based scenarios. Originality/value This paper highlights the role of management actions when implementing cloud security. It presents an AHP-based multi-criteria decision-making model that can be used by strategic decision-makers in selecting the optimum mode of action. Finally, the criteria used in the AHP model highlight how each alternative contributes to cloud security.
