Computers & IT (Non-Engg)

There are a number of security and privacy concerns associated with cloud computing.
Multi-tenancy - makes it easier for a hacker to to steal the data of all business customers who share the same cloud database.
Threats of data loss and data leakage -the threat of data leakage increases when employees use their mobile devices to access and share corporate documents via cloud storage services such as DropBox, Box, etc.
Insecure APIs - Most cloud service providers do not pay attention to the security of their APIs which can pose risks to an enterprise data with regards to privacy and data integrity.
Encryption - Most government regulations (HIPAA, PCI) require that data encryption. Although encryption is widely used, it is often implemented poorly. Many companies depend on the cloud provider for encrypting data which means that have control of the key & can access the data anytime.
Key management - Managing and storing these keys in a safe and secure location is of paramount importance when it comes to keeping the entire cloud database safe and secure. Most companies store both encryption and decryption key on the same database which can be detrimental for security.
Scope:
According to the statistics provided by the market research media, the worldwide market for Cloud Computing is likely to grow at a CAGR of 30% to reach US$ 270 billion through the year 2020. Considering the cutting-edge innovations and new industry-specific applications, cloud computing is fast emerging as an essential component of an enterprise IT framework.
Organizations, both big and small have deployed the cloud technology in some suitable capacity. Enterprises need expert IT professionals to work around the cloud. The cloud computing industry requires professionals with adept training and knowledge in both technical and managerial fields. The demand for IT professionals continues to rise at an exponential rate as more and more enterprises adopt cloud computing.

There are three main generally accepted categories of a hacker, each represented by a hat of a different colour: white, grey and black. All of them exploit weaknesses in computer systems and networks. The differences between them are their motivations. The most infamous is the black hat hackers, computer criminals epitomized by Hollywood, whose malicious activities serve their own ends ranging from financial gain to simply causing chaos. White hat hackers are usually those that carry out their craft with no apparent criminal intention in mind. And grey hats sit somewhere in the middle, often hacking into a system just to prove they can, but afterward usually notifying the vendor or owner of the weakness.
Most organisations believe that the act of authorising an ethical hacker to test a company's defences is enough legal protection to justify both sets of actions: firstly, the action of hiring an ethical hacker and secondly, to provide necessary cover for the questionable activities of the hacker, who in turn believes they are justified by the fact that they are acting in the best interests of the company who hired them.

Some of the fields are:-

Hello,
First, it is brought out that the concept of lateral entry is there in engineering colleges but this concept is not available for entry into a B.Sc course. This is so since after 10th, there is a possibility of going for a 3-year Diploma course followed by 3-years engineering by lateral entry thus making it a 6-year programme after 10th before one can graduate as an engineer. (10+3+3), same years if one takes engineering via normal route (10+2+4). However, this facility is not available for B.Sc students hence it's a simple course of three years after 12th. It is to be remembered that hardware and networking are actually specialisations in the study of engineering and not available in detail during the study of B.Sc. However, there is a course available called B.Sc (computers) that covers these topics to some extent. List of such colleges is attached as a link:
