Abstract
Cloud computing has come to stay and is expanding rapidly. The mode of deployment of services has implications for users who store data in the cloud and risk exposure to potentially severeconsequences. The safe use of cloud computing services is therefore necessitated. Drawing on the principle of self-preservation and the theory of protection motivation, this paper develops a conceptual framework for the safe use of cloud computing services by individuals.

Better Safe than Sorry: A Conceptual Framework for the Use of the Cloud
Cloud computing has come to stay and is expanding rapidly. The mode of deployment of services has implications for users who store data in the cloud and risk exposure to potentially severeconsequences. The safe use of cloud computing services is therefore necessitated. Drawing on the principle of self-preservation and the theory of protection motivation, this paper develops a conceptual framework for the safe use of cloud computing services by individuals.
