A Study of Privacy and Security Issues in SPI Services Deployment Models and Technologies of Cloud Computing

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has constantly been dignified as a key newlineinnovative knowledge of organizations and societies from various perspectives. newlineNevertheless, the ICT organization has experienced so many changes previously; several newlineissues make the growth and advances of innovative technologies like Cloud Computing. newlineCloud computing presently recommends organizational innovative adoptions with regards newlineto approaches on how to effectively reduced cost, setting up infrastructures as well as newlineassigning duties to various providers. Moreover, cloud computing had developed a vital newlinerole in both technological and other businesses aspects which has required changes to newlinedifferent technological strategies. As a result, cloud computing had resulted to the newlineadoption and upgrade of different technologies, services (SPI) and deployment models. newlineThe technologies, services and deployment models significantly give users/organization newlineopportunities on what type of cloud computing architecture to adopt. This study newlineinvestigates cloud computing privacy and security issues with regards to adoption, newlineservices, deployment and technologies as well as finding solutions to the security newlinechallenges so as to encourage cloud computing technology adoption in the future. newlineHowever, cloud computing concept were discussed by evaluating the effectiveness, newlinechallenges, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), analyzes key privacy and security issues to newlineadoption and makes a comparative analysis of existing security in SPI Services, newlinedeployments and technologies. The present study utilizes both Qualitative and newlineQuantitative Methodologies. In line with Descriptive Research design, the study newlineconducted a Survey using Questionnaire and Interview tools of data collection. Moreover, newlinethe study adopts correlational form of analysis with the aid of various statistical methods newlinesuch as simple percentages, tallies, charts, etc. The study discovered that cloud computing newlineis very effective in the context of data storage and management, however, other issues newlinesuch as secu
