Abuse and Nefarious Use of Cloud Computing
Insecure interfaces and APIs
Malicious insider
Impact of compromising the provisioning service
Isolation management / data multi-tenancy
Storage controller (Single point of failure / compromise)
Exposure of data to foreign governments
Application multi-tenancy
Reliance on hypervisors
Process isolation / Application sandboxes
Additional risk when integrated with customer applications
Needs certification and accreditation as a separate application
Software code updates
Virtual zoning with application mobility

Status from Meeting 3
 We received 35 contributions with focus in orchestration;
cloud management; cloud security; cloud broker
functionality and cloud benefits
 These contributions were towards the five output
documents produced in the second meeting
 A clear process and work plan for the FG Cloud activities
and deliverables was defined in order to prepare the first
FG Cloud report to be submitted to the next TSAG meeting
of Feb 2011

cases, high level requirements and capabilities. The scope of this
deliverable is to provide an introduction to the Cloud ecosystems, focusing
on integration and support of Cloud Computing model and technologies in
telecommunication ecosystems. The major changes include the addition of
the value proposition, requirements and capabilities clauses.
Functional requirements and reference architecture. The scope of this
deliverable is to define the functional requirement and reference
architecture of cloud computing, which includes the functional architecture,
functional entities and reference points.
Overview of SDOs involved in cloud computing. The scope of this
document is to provide an overview of SDOs; to map the FG cloud working
group and output documents to these SDOs ; and , to be as a base to
produce a gap analysis that will result in a unique areas that can be under
the ITU-T purview, specifically from telecom perspective.
Cloud security, threat & requirements: Security Cloud has started to be
discussed from reviews of other SDOs which are related Cloud Security
activities in CSA, DMTF, CloudAudit, NIST, GICTF, etc. After the observation
of the existing activities, the FG Cloud tentatively identify security threats
from view points of Cloud user and Cloud service provider. Considering the
identified security threats, the FG Cloud also studied security requirements
to be considered for Cloud Computing Technology.
Infrastructure and network enabled cloud. Position existing network
infrastructure capability is a unique opportunity for service providers to
provide bundled offers combining Network and IT resources. In addition,
service providers can leverage their network asset to address network
availability and performance for secure end to end cloud services. Another
opportunity for service providers is to evolve network resource allocation
and control to more dynamic in order to meet the needs to provision ondemand cloud services.
