Assignment - Security issues in Cloud Computing
Purpose of the assessment
This assignment assesses the following Unit Learning Outcomes; students should be able to demonstrate their achievements in them.
c. Analyse and model system functionality and behaviour.
d. Compare and contrast different approaches to system analysis and design, such as object-oriented, agile, and service oriented techniques
e. Analyse and model the functional and non-functional requirements of a software system
f. Design and deploy functional solutions, such as initiating, analysing and implementing system plans
Assignment - Specifications
The purpose of this assignment is to acquire fundamental knowledge on cyber security and cloud computing and become familiar with issues and challenges of the domain. They shall identify the key security challenges and contrast two cloud service providers and their services with regards to their security offerings. By doing this assignment, they will acquire a good understanding of security challenges available to cloud service providers and their service offerings. This may later help them to determine appropriate services for developing.
Security issues in Cloud Computing
