A cybersecurity risk is the potential loss or harm related to technical infrastructure, use of technology or reputation of an organization. In different countries there are different laws and regulations that control the extent of the security and measures taken to ensure proper cybersecurity. In the United States, there are many different cybersecurity risks that attempt to be counteracted. One of these is cloud abuse. Cloud storage is susceptible to abuse because of its simplicity. This is because Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which is responsible for functionality, has no secure registration process. This means that if you have a credit card, you can sign up and start using the cloud as soon as you are done. The simplicity makes the cloud vulnerable to spam mails, criminals, and other malicious attacks. In the United States, there are currently laws set in place to try to counteract these risks; however, most of the time, they are not enough to protect and secure data. On the other hand, in China -who is currently the most advanced and accomplished in the cybersecurity field- has recently enacted new laws that pertain to cloud computing. In 2019, China was estimated to spend almost 13 billion U.S. dollars on public cloud services. This was done to ensure more secure cloud usage. These are a few regulatory cloud computing measures put into practice during that time: internet resource co-ordination services, licenses being required for operating cloud services, foreign investment restrictions, work-around arrangements for foreign investors, and security assessment measures for cloud computing platforms. These precautions help to make the benefits of cloud computing in China weigh out the drawbacks. For example, some of the benefits include reducing overhead and energy consumption, enhancing business flexibility, and improving availability of business services. Some of the drawbacks include weakened ability to control data and business systems, jurisdiction issues, and challenges to ownership of customer data. By implementing these laws and regulations, China is already ahead in the game in terms of making cloud computing more safe and secure.
