In case of unauthorized
access to data, the
ability to alter the data
gets accustomed and
corruption of data is
viable. Collapsing of
data as per the
management of storage
of the data also acts as a
major risk.

Avoid Creation of dynamic environment is
necessary in the commencement of the
project. This is the main reason that
prosecution of the data that are restored
in the cloud will get integrated in a better
manner. Dynamic operation will help in
getting updates. Batch auditing also gets
performed in a better manner. Clustering
of high dimensional data with the help pf
set algorithm can also be used for better
management of the project.

In case of data theft the
data that are stored on
the database of the
ballot online can be
accessed in an
unauthorized manner.
This gaining of data as

In case the data is

Likely Major Acceptable
Risk: Medium
Mitigate Implementation of tracking of employee
activity is one of the most important
aspect of the sites must be done.
Blocking of USB and SD card slots.
Installing of Snort can also be beneficial.
This insists that the access of data that
are stored in the cloud system gets
prosecuted. This is the sole reason that
the mangement of the data that are stored
in the cloud database gets performed in
