Abstract :
As businesses´ dependence on cloud services increases, these services are vulnerable to security incidents, data breaches, and other malicious activities. To mitigate risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of assets, as well as to minimize losses to cloud service providers and users, particularly organizational users, the attack risk elements must be identified, classified, quantified, and prioritized. This column presents a conceptual cloud attack and risk assessment taxonomy.
