Summary:The potential benefits of cloud computing, such as flexibility and cost-effective, have attracted many companies to use it. Nevertheless, security issues are still prominent in cloud computing. Measuring the security of cloud computing can be effectively implemented by performing cloud computing risk assessments. Since the traditional risk assessment method is no longer applicable to cloud computing, the effective method in assessing cloud computing becomes the debated issues among scholars. This study reveals the current state of cloud computing risk assessment conducted in the private sector in Malaysia. We performed a semi-structured interview session with five private companies and highlighted the issues debated by the scholar.
