An Autonomous Risk Assessment Model for Cloud Computing Based on Multi-agent System before and after the Cloud Adoption

Cloud computing is one of the most important technologies in modern IT world development. However, most of the research’s studies view the problem of security risks assessment for all cloud actors. Thus, the adoption of cloud solutions in a number of companies is stopped. To make a decision to adopt and to migrate to cloud services, there is a great need of new risk assessment model or method before and after the adoption of cloud services. Current risk assessment models and methods generally cannot be applied to cloud services because this paradigm changes its characteristics very rapidly. In this paper, a new, intelligent, shared, comprehensive, collaborative and transparent risk assessment model has been proposed for cloud computing as solution of this problem in which the cloud actor is an active entity. An experimental result will be showed at the end to demonstrate the effectiveness of this new risk assessment model. Key word: Cloud Computing, security risk, and a new intelligent, shared, comprehensive, collaborative and transparent risk assessment model. Cite this Article: S. Drissi, S. Benhadou and H.
