Abstract:
The Cloud computing solution has enormous potential to provide companies, industries and economy in general with remarkable benefits but there are certain challenges that have to be taken into account when choosing this solution. The purpose of this paper is to provide results of research about local governments’ Cloud computing security, assisting them in making appropriate risk-based security decisions about how to securely embrace Cloud computing. To ensure that managing information of system-related security risks is consistent with the organization’s mission/business objectives, and that information security requirements, including necessary security controls, are integrated into the organization’s enterprise architecture and system development life cycle processes.
