Tiivistelmä
Most users of cloud computing services have security concerns when deploying their applications on a cloud infrastructure. This is so much more so for companies, big or small, who have chosen the Apache web server for hosting their applications in the cloud. While cloud service
providers are increasingly augmenting security features available to their customers, the onus of using these security mechanisms lies with the customers. Striking a balance between the security technologies as well as the policies and best practices or non-technical factors are paramount to augmenting the security stance of a cloud-based web server and the supporting infrastructure. This thesis is an investigation into the technical and non-technical factors adversely affecting Softetape's customers.
