Cloud Computing has helped organization to leverage the benefits of advanced computing
without investing in core infrastructure and computing resources. Various Cloud Computing
models such as software as Service model, infrastructure as a service model, and platform as
a service model through which organizations are allowed to choose between Cloud Service,
cloud platform or cloud infrastructure according to their requirements. All the cloud models
allows organizations and business to outsource much of its computing resources. Still
significant issue of cloud adoption that is security of stored data, which is very important and
Critical for business analysis. in order to address this issue, the authors have conducted
interviews with various security aspect specializing in cloud computing security. Along with
that, several relevant literatures have also been discussed and analyzed to identify significant
Cloud Computing security issues. The article has presented 18 significant Cloud Computing
security issues that organizations need to analyze if they are willing to adopt Cloud
Computing for their business as identified security threats to business data is an essential step
in securing the referral business process through Technologies.

In order to enhance Cloud Computing security, the authors have suggested theoretical Cloud
Computing adoption framework. To help Organisation in deciding the effective cloud define
deployment techniques and integrating cloud services with business process, an efficient
framework known as Cloud Computing business framework has been suggested in this
article. However, the article also specifies that in order to truly apply this Framework proper
validation is required. As this Framework is a theoretical framework, without proper
validation it is not possible to adopt this Framework in actual business environment and
ensure data security of business applications. The articles have also presented
recommendations to improve this Framework so that adoption of cloud computing is

Cloud Computing is a relative new model for computing that allows to have advanced
computing at low cost. It has revolutionized the way computing services are delivered to
individuals and organizations. Here the computing resources are delivered at services of the
internet hence cloud computing and it’s Adoption in organizational context has been
immensely popular. Now the major issue of adopting Cloud Computing is the security threats
that it pose to the stored data. Hence, a robust and comprehensive Framework is required
which is capable of addressing this issue and improve the adoption of cloud computing as
well. Now to improve this issue security assessment is required hence the author has
presented a framework to implement quantitative risk assessment known as multi-
dimensional mean failure cost. This Framework as mentioned in the article is not only
capable of assessing security threats but also efficient to provide measures to address the
security issues and enhance data security.

This article has opted for meta-analysis of literature in different to Cloud Computing
adoption and cloud computing frameworks. Previous research according to the authors are
mostly concerted with simulations and experiment to offer insight into this concept. Now
here in this article the authors have taken a different approach then those previous research

maintenance, coordination integration and availability. Now in order to improve and manage
these issues and efficiently, the authors have suggested adoption of cloud computing. the
benefits of cloud computing is that it doesn't require investment in computing resources to
access powerful computing solutions that are major need for business today where impact of
technology is significant for business success. However, Migration of legacy application to
the cloud is not an easy process as various issues as cost and security have to be managed
properly. Hence, an efficient cloud migration Framework is required. However, according to
the article whichever Framework is chosen for Cloud migration, it has to be secured enough
so that it enhances the trust of business for migrating in the cloud the authors. In this regard
has proposed for Framework that automate this process of migrating existing applications to
the cloud for improved efficiency and reliability for this process.

Today business are data-driven. Without efficiently analyzing the data, business today cannot
ensure competitive advantage. Now the problem with this data is that they are not often
structured in nature. Hence traditional data storage facilities for storing and processing of this
data are not efficient. Due to this, adoption of cloud computing to stored and process huge
amount of data also known as big data is being considered by business organization. Now the
problem is that data stored in the cloud is not open very secure if proper security measures
are not taken. To secure this data stored in the cloud storage encryption mechanisms are not
that efficient. hence the authors have proposed for an effective Framework known as meta
cloud data storage architecture with enhanced safe data security and also offer increased
insights from the big data with appropriate data analysis.
