Managing Data Protection and Privacy on Cloud

EasyChair Preprint 15072

Abstract

When the pandemic rose in 2020, people were fighting against the Covid-19 virus, and organizations had accelerated their digitization and cloud adoption rapidly [1] to meet the online-based business during the lockdown. This chaos helped fraudsters and attackers take advantage of the momentary lack of security controls and oversight. Federal Investigation Bureau (FBI) Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) 2020 reported the highest number of complaints in 2020 (791k+) compared to the prior five years (298k+ in 2016), with peak losses reported ($4.2 Billion in 2020 compared to $1.5 Billion in 2016) [2]. Most of these incidents were connected to financial fraud, identity fraud, and phishing for Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

Considering the severity and impact of personal data exposure over the cloud and hybrid environment, this paper provides a brief overview of prior research and discusses technical solutions to protect data across heterogeneous environments and ensure privacy regulations.
