PREFACE
Chapter 5 introduces the concept of corporate social privacy and discusses responsibility for data privacy in the cloud. The chapter presents a
conceptualisation of organisational privacy orientations that distinguishes
between control- and justice-driven privacy behaviours to identity four
categories of approaches. These approaches are illustrated in a framework
by reference to the privacy behaviours of key players in the cloud computing market.
Chapter 6 provides an overview of ethics and ethical theory and its
practical application in the context of cloud computing. In particular, the
chapter explores ethical issues related to data ownership and data privacy,
the provision of cloud computing services including codes of ethics and
responsible practice, and the use of cloud computing by consumers.
Chapter 7 concludes the book with a computer science perspective on
the issue of trustworthy cloud computing. The chapter discusses extant
computer science research on trustworthy cloud computing through the
lens of security and privacy, reliability, and business integrity, and discusses
technical approaches to measuring and improving cloud trustworthiness.
This book was largely written before the onset of COVID-19, a health
crisis that is transforming how we live, work and interact with each other.
The day to day lives of organisations and individuals have been compromised in such a way that technologies such as cloud computing are critical
for ensuring that economies and society persists, albeit sub-optimally.
While the benefits of cloud computing have never been more evident, so
are the risks. Massive rapid transition to remote working introduces new
and significant security and privacy threats and concerns. COVID-19 has
accelerated digital transformation in ways unforeseen a year ago. Against
this backdrop, this book provides a timely reference for considering how
we will assure privacy and build trust in such a hyper-connected digitally
dependent world.
