Modelling Threats with Security Requirements in Cloud Storage
Farashazillah Yahya, Robert John Walters, Gary Brian Wills · International Journal for Information Security Research · 2015
Cloud storage is becoming an option for users in keeping their data online, but it comes with the security requirements and challenges of protecting their data from threats.Many security frameworks have been suggested by existing studies, governing bodies, industry standards etc. as guidelines to be implemented by cloud service providers (CSPs) but the complete set of controls cannot be fully implemented due to several challenges such as decreasing availability, less user convenience, need of a robust infrastructure etc.Therefore, there is a need to investigate the security requirements and threats which will enable efficient security protection to protect data in cloud storage.This paper will discuss security requirements and analyses existing cloud security threats.The threats will be modelled in a cloud storage scenario.
