Security Analysis of Cloud Computing

This paper produces a baseline security analysis of the Cloud Computing Operational Environment in terms of threats, vulnerabilities and impacts. An analysis is conducted and the top three threats are identified with recommendations for practitioners. The conclusion of the analysis is that the most serious threats are non-technical and can be solved via management processes rather than technical countermeasures
