But from a data confidentiality and integrity viewpoint, moving a company's IT systems to a public cloud poses some challenges. System protection is often based on perimeter security, but in the cloud, the company's systems run on the cloud provider's hardware and coexist with software from both the provider and other cloud service consumers. Simply put, the cloud blurs the formerly clear separation between the trusted inside and the untrusted outside. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMalicious insiders represent a particularly significant concern for security in the cloud, as cloud operators and system administrators are unseen, unknown, and not onsite. Confidential data such as passwords, cryptographic keys, or files are just a few commands away from access by a malicious or incompetent system administrator.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis ReadyNote addresses the threat of malicious insiders in the context of clouds that provide the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) model, in the sense of clouds where consumers can run virtual machines. The text is complementary to several guidelines and reports on cloud security that have been published by organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), and the Cloud Security Alliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancisco Rocha is a second-year PhD student with the School of Computing Science at Newcastle University, UK. His research interests include systems security, software security, and security architectures. His latest work focuses on developing prevention techniques that guarantee memory confidentiality and integrity for cloud consumers in the presence of malicious insiders in cloud computing.
