ABSTRACT: Cloud computing
services have quickly become a mainstay in business, leading to success as a business
model and numerous advantages from the client’s point of view. Ease and amount of
storage and computational services provisions were not previously accessible or
affordable. However, parallel to this explosion has been significant security risk
concerns. Thus, it is important to understand and define these security risks in
a cybersecurity framework. This paper will take a case study approach to approach
past security risks and propose a model that can be followed by organizations to
eliminate the risk of Cloud-related cyberattacks. The main aims of this systematic
literature review (SLR) are to (1) address security risks/vulnerabilities that can
target cloud environments, (2) define tools that can be used by organizations to
defend their cloud environment against those security risks/vulnerabilities, and
(3) analyze case studies of significant cyberattacks and provide recommendations
for organizations to mitigate such cyberattacks. This paper will propose a novel
cloud cybersecurity model from a two-pronged offensive and defensive perspective
for implementation by organizations to enhance their security infrastructure.
