| Effectively and Securely Using the Cloud Computing Paradigm | PPT |
| As part of a valuable look at Cloud Computing, this NIST government presentation explores Cloud Security Challenges and Advantages. From the presentation, here are the Cloud Security Advantages: - Data Fragmentation and Dispersal - Dedicated Security Team - Greater Investment in Security Infrastructure - Fault Tolerance and Reliability - Greater Resiliency - Hypervisor Protection Against Network Attacks - Possible Reduction of C&A Activities (Access to Pre-Accredited Clouds) - Simplification of Compliance Analysis - Data Held by Unbiased Party (cloud vendor assertion) - Low-Cost Disaster Recovery and Data Storage Solutions - On-Demand Security Controls - Real-Time Detection of System Tampering - Rapid Re-Constitution of Services - Advanced Honeynet Capabilities |
