ENFORCING SECURITY ON CLOUD COMPUTING NETWORK: A THEORETICAL FRAME WORK

Cloud computing offers reduced capital expenditure, operational risks, complexity and maintenance, and increased scalability as well as providing services at different abstraction levels, namely Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service(PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). The paper highlighted various threats in cloud computing networking, and also proffered solution by discussing extensively various security measures to be enforced on the system to achieve security to a large extent. This paper presents a security architecture that enables a user of cloud networking to define security requirements and enforces them in the cloud networking infrastructure
