Abstract
Cloud computing is a new computational standard which offers an innovative business model for organizations to adopt IT without upfront investment. Regardless of the potential gains achieved from the cloud computing, the model security is still debatable which impacts the cloud adoption. The security problem becomes more complicated under the cloud model as new dimensions have entered into the problemsuch as scalability, manageability and cost. Cloud service users need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data breaches in this new environment. In this paper, we discuss existing know problems and vulnerabilities in the cloud and investigate two highly efficacious Cloud platforms: Microsoft Azure(Azure) and Amazon Web Services(AWS) security tools and their adoption and integration with existing security tools. We conclude with a discussion as to which Cloud Computing technology, Microsoft Azure or AWS, is better to adopt in terms of security and cost.
