COCS71196: Investigating Cloud Security Challenges for SMEs
As a cloud security engineer candidate, you play a critical role in enabling Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to harness cloud services effectively. Your next interview phase involves a comprehensive exploration of the prevalent security hurdles associated with SMEs transitioning to the cloud.
This investigative task requires more than a surface-level overview—it demands critical evaluations, insightful recommendations, or definitive conclusions based on your research findings.
As a professional researcher, your report should encompass:
- State-of-the-art technologies, techniques, or tools
- Relevant statistical data and emerging trends
- Justifications for network equipment or technology selections
- Installation and configuration intricacies
- Testing and implementation methodologies
- Considerations of social and ethical ramifications
- Adherence to industry standards and legal frameworks
Your employer expects compliance with the IEEE formatting style for conference proceedings, structured as follows:
- Abstract: A concise overview summarizing the paper and key findings.
- Introduction: Introduction to the topic, emphasizing its significance, outlining paper objectives, and previewing forthcoming sections.
- Main Body: In-depth development of arguments, examination of related works, discussion of industry standards, and best practices.
- Conclusions: Critical analysis and discussion of research findings.
- References: A comprehensive list of approximately 15 IEEE-style references.
The report should not exceed six sides of A4 paper (three double-sided pages), with the word count varying based on the inclusion of visual elements.
