Evaluation and selection of Cloud security services based on Multi-Criteria Analysis MCA

Security is still the main obstacle that is preventing businesses from moving towards the Cloud, which makes choosing the right Cloud service provider CSP a critical decision. We propose in this paper a methodology for evaluation and selection of Cloud security services based on a Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) process using a set of evaluation criteria and quantitative metrics. We then give a general overview of the design and requirements of a future implementation of Cloud security evaluation architecture.
