cloud computing
We surveyed 642 and 283 IT practitioners (a.k.a. cloud computing users) located in the US and Europe, respectively. We queried these individuals about the following topics: The perceptions about the security of cloud computing within organizations. How organizations in our study are using SaaS, PaaS and IaaS and how important these resources are to achieving corporate data processing objectives. The reasons for using cloud computing resources. Who is responsible for ensuring a secure cloud computing environment. How the security posture of cloud computing compares to on-premise. The security technologies that respondents see as most important to securing the cloud. What respondents see as their organization’s primary cloud computing security risks. Types of sensitive or confidential information too risky to be moved to the cloud. 1 See Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing, Cloud Computing Architectural Framework, Cloud Security Alliance, p. 15, April 2009.

How effective organizations are in achieving a secure IT environment for data, applications and infrastructure managed on-premise versus obtained from cloud service providers. What enabling security technologies should continue to be deployed on-premise and what technologies should be deployed as a service from the cloud. What system control activities are necessary for organizations to secure information assets and the IT infrastructure. What security risks are most salient to organizations as they quickly migrate from on-premise to cloud computing resources. How organizations deal with “critical areas of focus” for organizations deploying cloud computing resources as identified by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). 2
