A new shared and comprehensive tool of cloud computing security risk assessment

Abstract

The cloud computing is a new trending paradigm that presents several benefits in achieving rapid and scalable resource provisioning capabilities to their users. Despite the fact that cloud computing offers many cost benefits for their cloud users, number of security risk are emerging in association with cloud usage that need to be assessed. Assessing risk in Cloud computing environment remains an open research issue. This paper presents a comprehensive and shared risk assessment method for cloud computing that will add a great help and assistance to both cloud consumers and cloud providers, which is also in compliance with all the specific characteristics of the Cloud Computing. An experimental result will be showed at the end to demonstrate the effectiveness of this new risk assessment model.
