Incident Handlers Challenges
The cloud computer helps the people to share their distributed
resources which are related to different business organizations.
Cloud computing helps business organizations in managing their
business around the globe. The cloud computing application
helps business organizations in expanding their business at a
large level. It can be assessed on web devices from anywhere.
Nowadays cloud computing helps the business organizations in
meeting the demands of their customers more efficiently. The
malicious cloud system has been noticed by the incident
handlers which is a core concern for the business organization.
Nowadays every business organization is using cloud computing
in order to manage their important data and information of the
business. The business organization is facing many incidents in
their organization which can directly affect the working of their
business. The main challenge that has been faced by the
incident handlers is the accuracy in identification (John W.
Rittinghouse, 2017).
The number of challenges that faced in the cloud environment
are as follows:-

2. 1. Challenge of denial of services: - The first main challenge
that has been faced by the incident handler is the denial of
services. There are various incidents of service attacks which
can create a bogus request for preventing the system within the
stipulated time. Such physical attack creates a challenge of
service denial for the system.
2. Challenge of malicious code: - The second main challenge
which can be faced by the incident handler is the challenge of
malicious code. It can quickly affect the number of workstations
in the business organization. It effects the working of the
business organization.
3. Challenge of unauthorized access:- The third main
challenge which is being faced by the incident handler is the
unauthorized access of the system by the third party in the
business organization. It can affect important data and
information about the business. The attackers can access the
system by the unauthorized way and steal the important data of
the business organization.
4. Challenge of inappropriate use:- The fourth main
challenge which may be faced by the incident handlers is the
challenge of inappropriate use of the system. In the business
organization, any employee can provide the illegal copies of the
software to the other company employees. They can take
advantage of the data and can misuse it.
5. Cloud service provider challenge:- The fifth main
challenge that can be faced by the incident handler is the cloud
service providers. This situation occurs when there is no control
over the actions provided by cloud service providers. It can
affect the business infrastructure system of the business
organization.
All the above are the various challenges that can be faced by the

3. incident handlers in the business organization which can affect
the smooth functioning of the organization. All these challenges
can be faced in the cloud computing environment. The main
conclusion of these challenges is that if any business
organization has no control over its services, then there should
need to implement more flexibility to its virtual applications to
maintain their security of the network. The incident handlers
have to cope with these challenges in order to run their business
organization in a smooth manner (Ryan Ko, 2015).

The cloud the environment has transformed how IT is used and
managed by firms in an innovative and cost-efficient manner.
Organizations are shifting to the cloud environment as they can
reach to their marketplace faster and scale up their operations as
per the growth. Since 2008 there has been a large shift in the
entire world where more and more organizations are using cloud
computing models and benefitting from them substantially.
However, incident management teams do find it extremely
challenging. There is regulatory, privacy as well as security
issues associated with a cloud environment.
Cloud Environment challenges
Loss of control of incident managers-
The enterprises usually lose their control when they attempt to
enhance the security of the networks, and this is the critical
drawback faced in a cloud environment. Responsibility of the
network security in a cloud environment is shared between the
CSP or the cloud service provider and the organizations. So the

4. model of server in use by the enterprise gives very less or
almost no control over the security of the cloud environment by
the employees. The IaaS or infrastructure as a service provides
organizations to gain some control as the cloud service provider
only offers an infrastructure to host the business on the cloud.
Their competency of security management is not proven. Hence
the main task of security responsibility still lies on the
organizational incident management team (Anonymous, 2018).
The stack which is given to the incident managers are built,
used and controlled by the cloud service providers. SaaS
environments get an incident handler lesser controlled. As a
result, security gaps are constantly evaluated.
Vendor lock-in situations-
If the SLA or policy document the cloud service provider is not
read properly then the firm can find it challenging when there is
a vendor lock-in the scenario. This is where switching from one
vendor to another is not allowed (SDxCentral, 2018).
Loss of crucial business data-
Another challenge witnessed is the loss of data if the company
makes an error or if there is a natural disaster. There is no
surety about the kind of disaster recovery plan the cloud service
providing firm has in place.
Theft from inside –
Employees of cloud service provider department with wrong
intentions can creep in and use data if the safety measures are
not rebutted. The threat from insider man-made anomalies is the
highest in a cloud environment (TaheriMonfared & Jaatun,
2018).
Breaches of data –
The cloud environment also at times suffer from data breaches.
Any kind of breach which becomes successful can lead to huge
financial loss, penalties, and customer confidence loss and

5. reputation loss for an organization.
Above challenges are faced when business functions are shifter
over the cloud environment. Numerous security-related issues
in the cloud can arise as the color covers networks,
technologies, OS, etc. it is a challenge to keep the enterprise
assets secured when total power is not in the hands of the
management. It is hence important to trust only reliable and
efficient cloud services providers who have robust security
protocols implemented.
