This article has provided a cloud computing adoption framework. This Framework according
to the author is suitable for business applications as well. The Framework presented by the
author has adopted a multi-layered approach for enhancing Cloud Security. This article have
analyzed in detail the need of security for cloud computing adoption. The core Technologies
that are needed for securing Cloud Computing has also been presented in detailed format. In
order to adopt the Framework the article has provided the need for development and
integration of major security Technologies. The security Technologies that has been
discussed in details are Firewall identity management and encryption of cloud data. This
technique if properly implemented has the potential to enhance Cloud Computing security,
which is an important need for adoption to any business context.

According to this article as data is stored in cloud storage in remote server it is important to
secure this data otherwise there is a chance of data hack and other Cybercrimes. Hence, in
order to ensure this security, this article has provided comprehensive Cloud Computing
adoption framework. Now the major problem of cloud computing as identified by the author
is the security of data. If this is not ensured it will not be able to derive the full potential of
cloud computing specially in business and organizational context. In this article, the author
has done a survey, which shows that security of data is one of the most critical issues of cloud

computing adoption. Now the author has adopted a business process modelling notation or
bpmn to visualize how data is stored and accessed. This visualization according to the article
is helpful to determine how data is manipulated and stored in cloud computing and how this
security is affected. This visualization and simulation according to the article is helpful to
determine how the proposed security Framework is applicable to the data security so that a
detailed and effective Cloud Computing Framework is possible to offer so that Cloud
Computing adoption is consistent with security and performance along with Cloud
Computing reliability.

This article offers a hybrid framework to adopt Cloud Computing in business and
organizational institutions now the hybrid model is presented in the article is based on the
technology acceptance model and technology of the environment model. For 10 model the
authors have considered environmental variables and for the model, the authors have
considered external variables in order to identify the applicability of this hybrid cloud
adoption Framework the author has conducted a survey with 280 companies and to analyze
this data the authors have adopted a structural variable model. This article has adopted for
integrated this to model this hybrid model is effective as a protective for adopting Cloud
Computing as this model offers features and benefits of the two model at the same time
which enhances the benefit of the resulting model.

ADOPTION OF CLOUD COMPUTING
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
