dc.description.abstractThis paper presents a genre-based, generalized threat taxonomy for cloud computing. Cloud computing provides numerous possibilities and challenges but the nature of cloud computing exposes the resources of a cloud architecture to a wide range of threats. Presently, many potential threats, represented as security concerns, are known in a general sense but they are not classified specifically in relation to cloud services delivery. Therefore security concerns need identification and assessment and presented in a consistent and hierarchical form. We posit that to approach the issue in this way allows for more effective enforcement and therefore better resilience in a cloud architecture. We further posit that failure to effectively identify threats will lead to lower levels of trust, effectiveness and performance. The generalized threat taxonomy provides researchers with a framework through which risk factors and threats may be identified; and related against an overall picture of threat patterns.en_NZ
