Cloud computing : a techno-legal analysis of data security & privacy threats in India

Abstract

Cloud computing is a concept that includes a set of software services on the network a standard (usually using the Internet) that contains remote data storage and online applications on remote virtual servers. Cloud architect has made miraculous progress in recent years by giving the benefits it offers like an increase in storage capacity and computing power with minimal investment. Collaborating on a computer shares information from one cloud to another cloud in an online environment. Often the private and public sectors use it. Organizations and businesses transmit information to the cloud. One user can use another user's information available in the cloud. The Indian market for cloud computing is very vibrant and consists of all varieties of cloud computing transactions taking place. The private sector is leading the way but the central government is also taking initiatives and actively considering and implementing various cloud-based computing services. While sharing information between user and server, there are risks of data attacks in the context of data security and privacy. This research paper is focused on firstly, the analysis of cloud computing service, types of delivery and the attacks that may arise and secondly, the legal control mechanism in India to mitigate the challenges. An attempt will be made to provide relevant suggestions for the better regulation of cloud computing services.
