A Prototype for Cloud Computing Data Security Risk Awareness and Training: a Cloud User’s Perspective

Abstract

Cloud Computing (CC), data security is a critical issue for all organizations and individuals alike. How- ever, despite all the benefits of CC, data security remains a problem and not well understood. Particularly, the cloud data storage security risks related to iCloud, Google Drive, Drop box and, One Drive. Less research focuses on cloud data/file storage risk awareness and training. From the standpoint of cloud users, this paper highlights the necessity of CC security of information knowledge and training. The prototype implementation of a CC, data security awareness, and training are all addressed in the study. The prototype will be created in accordance with current data security requirements set forth by the National Institute of requirements and Technology (NIST) and the International Standards Organization (ISO). This paper will contribute immensely to cloud users. Finally, contributions and future work are highlighted.
