The Use of Cloud Computing and its Security Risks in a Philippine Education System: A Literature Review

Abstract

Cloud computing is a technology that impacted the performance of modern markets and businesses. Because of this, cloud computing has become more significant to humans with its virtualization and distributed computing. However, according to the gathered literature for this paper, cloud computing imposes security concerns. This paper examines the definition of cloud computing by analyzing its historical perspective, architecture, and framework. We attempt to understand cloud security threats by classifying their type and affected cloud layers. From that, we correlate our assessments to the virtualization of Philippine education.
