There is a difference in the approach to this challenge considering the two platforms, and the fact that they may be based on different configurations. Therefore, it is essential that proper techniques are instituted counter this.
Evidently, insider threats are a menace in the cloud computing environment, just as is the case in a normal organizational set up. Most of the threats posed by such individuals are detrimental to the organization and organizations need to establish amicable means of dealing with the situation. This problem has to be solved within the organization because it gets out of hand when those associated with it opt to do it outside the confines of the organization. From the integrated literature review, it is evident that employee satisfaction is a heads-up for the journey towards curbing threats offered by insiders. This is because such problems are generated internally, and consequently, it is logical enough to seek solutions to the same problems internally to be able to get a clear direction. (2011).

Cloud Computer and Insider Threats Cloud computing is widely regarded as the wave of the future. "Cloud computing is all the rage. It's become the phrase du jour" (Knorr & Gruen 2011). However, many people throw the phrase around without truly understanding what it really is. "Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly
It's a tidal wave that's going to engulf us all within the next five years. Cloud services will be a $160 billion industry by the end of 2011" (Ginovsky 2011, 21). Although the decision to transition from a traditional approach to cloud computing will depend on each organization's unique circumstances, a number of general benefits have been cited for those companies that have made the partial or complete transition to
This approach to defining a performance-based taxonomy will also allow for a more effective comparison within industries as well. All of these factors taken together will provide enterprise computing buyers with more effective foundations of arguing for more thorough measures of application performance. The net result will be much greater visibility into how cloud computing is actually changing the global economics of the enterprise computing industry. III.

Many people know that they are not educated enough in the complicated technologies that are seen in cloud computing and insider threats. As such, it is often a general consensus of the people to not trust such technologies they cannot clearly define. Using a systems-oriented approach will allow the current research to dive into these opinions and help uncover what societal structures are leading to this general sense of
cloud computing will be discussed to show that the good outweighs the bad. Furthermore, it will be further discussed that the government is looking into using cloud computing because it will cut IT cost down and increase capabilities despite the fact people are concerned with security issues that this may bring to the public. In completing a dissertation, it is very hard to go through the challenges that it requires.
