This comprehensive work surveys the challenges, the best practices in the industry, and the latest developments and technologies. It covers the fundamentals of cloud computing, including deployment models, service models, and the benefits of cloud computing, followed by critical aspects of cloud security, including risk management, threat analysis, data protection, identity and access management, and compliance. Cloud Security explores the latest security technologies, such as encryption, multi‑factor authentication, and intrusion detection and prevention systems, and their roles in securing the cloud environment.

Cloud computing has revolutionized the landscape of data sharing, serving as a transformative catalyst in the way organizations collaborate and exchange information. The hallmark of cloud computing is its scalable and on‑demand access to resources, fundamentally altering the traditional paradigms of data sharing. Unlike conventional methods, cloud‑based data sharing goes beyond geographical constraints, opening up avenues for real‑time collaboration and reducing latency. Platforms like Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) stand as exemplars, showcasing the unprecedented efficiency gains achievable through cloud‑driven data sharing.

A more advanced approach, gaining popularity, is the “No‑Copy Data Sharing” or “Direct Access Pattern.” This pattern is characterized by several services operating in the same cloud, where computing and storage are completely separate. The advantages of this approach include improved scalability, cost‑efficiency, and direct access to data without the need for copying or moving. Technologies like Azure Synapse Link for Azure Cosmos DB, BigQuery external data sources, or Snowflake data sharing exemplify this pattern in action.

Features:

• Introduces a user-centric measure of cyber security and provides a comparative study on different methodologies used for cyber security.
• Offers real-world case studies and hands-on exercises to give a practical understanding of cloud security
• Includes the legal and ethical issues, including trhe impact of international regulations on cloud security
• Covers fully automated run-time security and vulnerability management
• Discusses related concepts to provide context, such as Cyber Crime, Password Authentication, Smart Phone Security with examples.

This book is aimed at postgraduate students, professionals, and academic researchers working in the fields of Computer Science and cloud computing.
