Better security and encryption is necessary with regard to all forms of Cloud Computing, Cloud Infrastructure, and Cloud Storage. Areas that are affected the hardest by security breaches include: retail/e-commerce, communications, transportation, and banking. Illustrated within this article are ways that companies such as Walmart, Verizon, Wells-Fargo, and BWM would be affected by a lapse in security and/or a breach in their Cloud Infrastructure. In this article issues that can magnify these breaches and data loss is discussed as it relates to Cloud Structure and Cloud Services based on known vulnerabilities and lack of product testing. This article concludes with why it is necessary to have Public Policies as part of the governing system on Cloud Computing, Cloud Infrastructure, and Cloud Storage
