For cloud users and providers alike, security is an everyday concern, yet there are very few books covering cloud security as a main subject. This book will help address this information gap from an Information Technology solution and usage-centric view of cloud infrastructure security. The book highlights the fundamental technology components necessary to build and enable trusted clouds. Here also is an explanation of the security and compliance challenges organizations face as they migrate mission-criticalapplications to the cloud, and how trusted clouds, that have their integrity rooted in hardware, can address these challenges. This book provides: enable infrastructure integrity and the creation of trusted pools leveraging Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT). enabling workload and data location compliance and boundary control usages in the cloud. of tenant-controlled virtual machine and workload protection in the cloud. for a cloud bursting use case, providing infrastructure visibility and control to organizationsand hardware based root of trust. More than an explanation of the what and how, is the explanation of why. And why you can t afford to ignore it!"
