Cloud Security Coverage tool: MEGHNAD
Many organizations are adopting cloud services to reduce the cost and increase the
flexibility of their IT infrastructure. Security requirements are a basic necessity
for all service models along with the essential need to satisfy compliance requirements.
Moreover, compliance for each service model requires different specific protection
for online data such as Accountability, Transparency, Accuracy, Security, and Access. The
main focus is to find new methods to manage risk factors and compliance violations
in cloud computing security, which the business or companies can utilize to manage processes
and decision rights. MEGHNAD framework uses a Muti-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA)
to find optimal security toolset which also satisfies compliance. It embeds the use
of compressive research on different compliance model requirements against each service
model along with offering the right combination of security tools for different cloud
services and the level of security assurance required. This framework can be used
by companies to determine the tools and compliances they need from cloud service providers.
This will also provide the companies with an estimate on the cost and insurance for
the security tool and the compliance they select. The developed tool will generate
a SLA document for the organization to help find the correct required services from
the vendor in order to certify the compliance in their industry structure.
