Due to the fact that cloud computing bring with them new challenges in the field of information security, it is imperative for organizations to control the process of information risk management in the cloud. This paper proposes a risk assessment approach for assessing the potential damage from the attack on the implementation of components of confidential data and justify the need for the inclusion of private clouds with a high degree of protection in a hybrid cloud computing environment.

Today organizations increasingly consider cloud computing as an alternative way of using information technology. At the same time, the use of different vulnerabilities of infrastructure components, network services and applications remains are the major threat to the cloud. The article proposes a methodology for vulnerability assessment for any type of cloud structures, which will allow to determine the coefficient of counter to possible attacks and to correlate the amount of damage to the total cost of ownership of organization IT-infrastructure.

Achieving the goals of information security is a key factor in the decision to outsource information technology and, in particular, to decide on the migration of organizational data, applications, and other resources to the infrastructure, based on cloud computing. And the key issue in the selection of optimal architecture and the subsequent migration of business applications and data to the cloud organization information environment is the question of the total cost of ownership of IT infrastructure. This paper focuses on solving the problem of minimizing the total cost of ownership cloud.
