The decision on how to deploy cloud computing involves weighing multiple factors for any organization. Some models will be more scalable than others, but the cost to deploy may be prohibitive. In this assignment, you will consider security most heavily, though you will examine the advantages and disadvantages of each of the four most prominent cloud deployment models.

Write a 2- to 3-page article for a companys knowledge base about the security threats for each of the four most prominent cloud deployment models: private, public, hybrid, and community.

Explain each deployment model, including advantages, disadvantages, and general level of security, and provide an example of how it may be used.

Identify at least 2 specific security threats for each deployment model. Include what is at risk for each threat (data, availability, etc.).

Describe how to mitigate each threat, including who is responsible for managing that threat and why.

Format any references according to APA guidelines.
