CDSM : Wide-Ranging Cloud Data Security Management System

Abstract

Cloud computing is a service model in which the computing resources such as software, hardware and data are delivered as a service through a web browser or lightweight desktop machine over the internet. Cloud computing has increased its acceptance in recent years. Despite of having a number of benefits, users are still worried about security of data in cloud due to losing the control of their own data when outsourced in cloud environment. The security is an important feature in all sorts of Information systems, the cloud computing is no exception. The confidentiality, integrity and availability are the key issues affecting security of data in cloud along with dependability of users and cloud service providers. There are increasing security and privacy concerns from the point of view of both the enterprises and the individuals of their outsourced data in cloud. Several security management standards and measures have been intended to security the cloud but still cloud security is at a high risk due to the pioneering hacking techniques. In this paper we propose wide-ranging data security framework for cloud computing for the designing of security framework called CDSM system. The cloud data security management framework is proposed for providing Information Security as a Service (ISaaS). The framework ensure the security of data during rest in cloud, and when data in flight between different entity of cloud system. The CDSM framework provides a flexible and modified data storage, computation, backup and disaster data management service which can be expanded and altered according to the needs of the organizations and users.
