System security is of such great concern to users with interests in cybernetics, systems and management science that it has become as important as the system content that is stored, processed and communicated over networks.

This books claims to provide a “different approach” to cloud computer security. It tells us that cloud computer technology offers flexibility, adaptability and scalability all of which improves operations and consequently saves money.

It therefore needs security from attacks. This book describes a framework for safeguarding the system whilst also introducing methods for using this new technology.
