IT Control Objectives for Cloud Computing: Controls and Assurance in the Cloud

Cloud computing has become an important emergent issue in business today. As a follow-up to the whitepaper issued in October 2009, ISACA has produced this book to examine assurance in the cloud. The focus is on controls and countermeasures that can be used in the cloud, but it also closely examines how to use the cloud to create value in systems. The book details the issue, why it is important to business, risks, why assurance is critical and how COBIT can help.The book contains an audit program in the appendix.
