  • Abstract
    Cloud security has become a key limitation on the development of cloud computing. To ensure the stability and reliability of cloud service, cloud security should be assessed regularly using a practical indicator system. Because cloud computing employs virtualization technology and a new delivery mode, the security assessment indicator system for traditional information systems is unsuitable for the cloud. This article proposes a complete cloud security assessment indicator system based on classifying and grading. It uses the comprehensive assessment method combining forward and feedback assessment to assess the security of an actual cloud, and verifies the rationality and practicability of the cloud security assessment indicator system.
