Abstract
This study discusses major security issues and concerns related to cloud
computing environment in regard to knowledge management system processes such as
knowledge creation, refining, storing, sharing, and utilization. This study uses the
exploratory approach to address major security concerns and whether they need
consideration for each knowledge management process. The result of this study reveals
main cloud computing security concerns such as data security and confidentiality issues,
access controls, data loss or leakage prevention, cyber-attacks, availability and reliability
issues, and browser security and analyzes these security concerns from knowledge
management systems’ point of view. Also, solutions and recommendations for security
concerns are discussed to provide guidance for the organization initiating cloud-based
knowledge management systems.
