1 Framework and requirements for cloud computing

8 Security considerations related to ITU-T Recommendations

It is recommended that the security framework for cloud computing described in [b-ITU-T X.1601] be
considered for the distributed cloud. [b-ITU-T X.1601] analyses security threats and challenges in the cloud
computing environment and describes security capabilities that could mitigate these threats and meet
security challenges.
It is recommended that the guidelines for the operational security of cloud computing described in
[b-ITU-T X.1642] be considered for the distributed cloud. [b-ITU-T X.1642] clarifies the security
responsibilities between CSPs and CSCs, and analyses the requirements and categories of security metrics of
operational security for cloud computing.

It is recommended that the security framework for the IoT based on the gateway model described in
[b-ITU-T X.1361] be considered for edge clouds in the distributed cloud. In particular, [b-ITU-T X.1361]
analyses security threats to the IoT gateway and to the network and describes security capabilities for
gateways and the network that address and mitigate these security threats and challenges.
