Cloud Computing sees a technical and cultural shift of computing service provision from being provided locally to being provided remotely, and en masse, by third-party service providers. Users have lost control over the protection of their data: No longer is our data kept under our own watchful eyes. In general, an information security approach estimates the risk, where the risk is to occur due to an unusual event, and the associated consequences for cloud organizations. Information Security and Risk Management (ISRA) practices vary among cloud organizations and disciplines. There are several approaches to compare existing risk management methods for cloud organizations but their scope is limited considering stereotype criteria, rather than developing an agent-based task that considers all aspects of the associated risk. It is the lack of considering all existing renowned risk management frameworks, their proper comparison, and agent techniques that motivate this research. This paper proposes an Agent-Based Information Security Framework for Hybrid Cloud Computing as an all-inclusive method including cloud-related methods to review and compare existing different renowned methods for cloud computing risk issues and by adding new tasks from surveyed methods.
