The aim of this paper is to make cloud service consumer aware about cloud computing fundamentals, its essential services, service models and deployment options. This also through light on security and risk management piece of CSA trusted cloud reference architecture, cloud control matrix and notorious nine threats and ENISAs top risks to cloud computing. At the end it talks about certifications and attestation part.
Cloud computing is becoming increasingly important for provision of services and storage of data in the Internet. However there are several significant challenges in securing cloud infrastructures from different types of attacks.
The focus of thisPaper is on the security services that a cloud provider can offer as part of its infrastructure to its customers (tenants) to counteract these attacks.
Our main contribution is a security architecture that provides a flexible security as a service model that a cloud provider can offer to its tenants and customers of its tenants.
Our security as a service model while offering a baseline security to the provider to protect its own cloud infrastructure also provides flexibility to tenants to have additional security functionalities that suit their security requirements.
The paper describes the design of the security architecture and discusses how different
types of attacks are counteracted by the proposed architecture.
We have implemented the security architecture and the paper discusses analysis and performance evaluation results.
Infrastructure Security by Sivamurthy HiremathClubHack
With the development of technology, the interdependence of various infrastructures has increased, which also enhanced their vulnerabilities. The National Information Infrastructure security concerns the nation’s stability and economic security. So far, the research in Internet security primarily focused on securing the information rather than securing the infrastructure itself.
The pervasive and ubiquitous nature of the Internet coupled with growing concerns about cyber attacks we need immediate solutions for securing the Internet infrastructure. Given the prevailing threat situation, there is a compelling need to develop Hardware redesign architectures, Algorithms, and Protocols to realize a dependable Internet infrastructure. In order to achieve this goal, the first and foremost step is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the security threats and existing solutions. These attempts to fulfil this important step by providing classification of Security attacks are classified into four main categories: DNS hacking, Routing table poisoning, Packet mistreatment, and Denial-of-Service attacks. We are generally discussing on the existing Infrastructure solutions for each of these categories, and also outline a methodology for developing secured Nation.

Conclusion
In order to make cloud computing to be adopted by users and enterprises, security concerns of users should be rectified by making cloud environment trustworthy, discussed by Latif et al. in the assessment of cloud computing risks[2].
We address the questions related to:
security concerns and threats over general cloud computing,
(2) the solutions for these problems and
(3) mobile users safety in convergence with energy consumption.
Along with accessibility and convenience, cloud-based IT resources also bring risk. This webinar provides you with a brief introduction on the development of cloud computing and the related business risks. Additionally, you will learn questions to ask to determine if your company is using cloud-based IT resources along with information on the formal assurance frameworks that exist and can be effectively employed by both cloud consumers and providers without specialized training.

Abstract—Cloud computing has elevated IT to newer limits
by offering the market environment data storage and capacity
with flexible scalable computing processing power to match
elastic demand and supply, whilst reducing capital expenditure.
However the opportunity cost of the successful implementation of
Cloud computing is to effectively manage the security in the
cloud applications. Security consciousness and concerns arise as
soon as one begins to run applications beyond the designated
firewall and move closer towards the public domain. The purpose
of the paper is to provide an overall security perspective of Cloud
computing with the aim to highlight the security concerns that
should be properly addressed and managed to realize the full
potential of Cloud computing. Gartner’s list on cloud security
issues, as well the findings from the International Data
Corporation enterprise panel survey based on cloud threats, will
be discussed in this paper.
Keywords- Cloud computing; Security; Public cloud, Private
cloud, Hybrid Cloud, policies, cloud transparency
I. INTRODUCTION
The success of modern day technologies highly depends on
its effectiveness of the world’s norms, its ease of use by end
users and most importantly its degree of information security
and control. Cloud computing is a new and emerging
information technology that changes the way IT architectural
solutions are put forward by means of moving towards the
theme of virtualisation: of data storage, of local networks
(infrastructure) as well as software [1-2].
In a survey undertaken by the International Data
Corporation (IDC) group between 2008 and 2009, the majority
of results point to employing Cloud computing as a low-cost
viable option to users [3]. The results also show that Cloud
computing is best suited for individuals who are seeking a
quick solution for startups, such as developers or research
projects and even e-commerce entrepreneurs. Using Cloud
computing can help in keeping one’s IT budget to a bare
minimum. It is also ideally suited for development and testing
scenarios. It is the easiest solution to test potential proof of
concepts without investing too much capital. Cloud computing
can deliver a vast array of IT capabilities in real time using
many different types of resources such as hardware, software,
virtual storage once logged onto a cloud. Cloud computing can
also be part of a broader business solution whereby prioritised
applications utilise Cloud computing functionality whilst other
critical applications maintain organisational resources as per
normal. This allows for cost saving whilst maintaining a secure
degree of control within an orgainsation.
Cloud computing can be seen as a service-oriented ...
Cloud security is a must have. Also, an expectation AND a business accelerator.
But what really changes with cloud ? Cloud is not more or less secure : the security posture evolves..
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A NEW CLOUD SECURITY METHOD BASED ON MULTI CLOUDS ON OPE...cscpconf
Deployment of using cloud services as a new approach to keep people's platforms, Infrastructure and applications has become an important issue in the world of communications technology. This is a very useful paradigm for humans to obtain their essential needs simpler, faster ,more flexible, and safer than before. But there are many concerns about this system challenge. Security is the most important challenge for cloud systems. In this paper we design and explain the procedure of implementation of a new method for cloud services based on multi clouds on our platform which supplies security and privacy more than other clouds. We introduce some confidentiality and security methods in each layer to have a secure access to requirements. The architecture of our method and the implementation of method on our selected platform for each layer are introduced in this paper.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
