Atulay Mahajan, Sangeeta Sharma · 2015
Cloud Computing, which once provided locally, has seen a technical and cultural shift of computing service provision to being provided remotely, and en masse, by third-party service providers. The data has now been placed under the protection of the service provider that was once placed under the security domain of the service user. Our data is no longer kept under our own watchful eyes as we have lost control over the protection of our own data at the hands of cloud service providers. While Cloud computing relieves various organizations from the burden of the data management and storage costs, security in general and the malicious insider threats in particular is the main concern in cloud environments. Insider threat has become a serious security issue within the organizations. The problem of insider threats has been analyzed in this research paper and work has been done towards the detection and conception of strategies to solve these malicious insider threats.
