While cloud computing provides lower Infrastructure cost, higher agility and faster delivery, it also presents higher operational and security risks for business critical assets, but a well-designed solution and security architecture will keep businesses safe during and after migrating their assets to the cloud. This paper will research and identify best security practices and how to improve a security architecture in an enterprise cloud environment. It will also review some of the cloud vendors practice statements, other cloud research literature, cloud reference architecture and other cloud security frameworks.
