The improved cloud computing adoption framework to deliver secure services

This paper describes a high-level approach for our improved Cloud Computing Adoption Framework update 1 (CCAF 1.1), which emphasizes on the security policies, recommendations, techniques and technologies to be updated in our framework. Motivation, background, security overview and recent attack methods have been discussed. We propose a solution based on arising needs to improve current Cloud security, Fine Grained Security Model (FGSM) which is designed to integrate three different types of security methods and offer multi-layered security for a better data protection. Technologies and techniques behind FGSM have been explained and will be useful for our CCAF 1.1 development.
