Cloud Computing


Chapter 9 identified the advantages and disadvantages of using a cloud-based provider.  Additionally, you read about common security threats to cloud-based environments.  Your task this week is to write a research paper that defends the following statements and provide one real-world example for each statement:

  • A difficult security threat to mitigate is a malicious employee.
  • A cloud-provider’s data center is still at risk from natural disasters such as floods, fire, and earthquakes.

The paper should be approximately five pages in length in APA 7 edition, not including the title page and reference page. A minimum of two scholarly journal articles (besides your textbook) are required. See UC Library Tutorials.
