Cloud Regulation to Protect User Privacy This essay discusses the regulation regulating cloud service provider to protect the privacy of data citizens within the country . This essay will describe what cloud services are and their wide range of services. In the second section, he will explain more about the security threat of cloud services and delve more specifically into the issue of privacy. In the next section, I will discuss the scope of the proposed technical regulation from the given case taking the model from the existing country regulation. In the fourth section, this essay will discuss evaluation and another alternative policy to the previous policy. Finally, this essay will conclude with suggestions and conclusions on what legislation should be proposed regarding the privacy protection of citizen data stored in the cloud. What are cloud services? Today, cloud services are widely used by people all over the world for business purposes. , government and personal use. With cloud services, users use the resources (could be storage space, computing capacity, or software) of the cloud service provider mediated by the Internet. Performing computational work with cloud services involves a number of computers to perform large-scale work, so it is usually called via a system distributed over the Internet (reference, paper?). The cloud service also offers a large-scale service where users only pay for what they use (on-demand). Therefore, companies migrate to the business-to-business cloud as they do not have to spend money to increase the upfront costs for their computational activity. For example, instead of building their own storage, networking and cooling, they could simply “lease” resources from the cloud provider at a lower cost. In addition to the economic benefits, cloud resources can also be shared by multiple…half of paper…a wide range of services for society. For public cloud, customers have no idea where their data is stored and what regulation would apply to their data. This may affect their privacy guarantee. The regulation that forces the cloud company to store local citizens' data within the country may secure user data because the cloud company will have some restrictions on processing user data according to local law. But this regulation could lead to rejection by large enterprise vendors, and local users could suffer the loss of cloud services from them. Regulations that force cloud companies to encrypt users' local data can be chosen as alternatives, but this is limited to some cloud services. From the perspective of ensuring security, I could suggest the first regulation, which stores local users within the country because it can cover entire cloud services to ensure the safety of their privacy.
