Migração e segurança em plataformas cloud computing

Abstract

The cloud computing paradigm is becoming an existing technology at the organizations infrastructures and seen by many as a milestone in relation to Information Technology. In fact, cloud computing represents a paradigm shift in the way systems are implemented. But, in general, cloud computing is also synonymous with insecurity, which is gradually changing. When one organization migrate their data and systems to a cloud environment, it relegates to the service provider control over it, fostering a sense of insecurity for the loss of control inherent. Organizations have to have a very high level of trust in cloud providers before deciding to entrust them their confidential information or regulated by rules or laws. In this work we present a review of security in cloud environments, risks, advantages and disadvantages, ending with a proposal of a tool for migrating to an infrastructure of cloud computing, maintaining security, privacy and availability of systems, data and information.
