The problem becomes even more challenging when the application uses multiple cloud services which security measures are beyond the control of the application provider. In this paper, a methodology that enables the identification of the best security controls for multicloud applications which components are deployed in heterogeneous cloud providers is presented. The methodology is based on application decomposition and modelling of threats over the components, followed by the analysis of the risks together with the capture of cloud business and security requirements. The methodology has been applied in the MUSA EU H2020 project use cases as the first step for building up the multi-cloud applications’ security-aware Service Level Agreements (SLA). The identified security controls will be included in the applications’ SLAs for their monitoring and fulfilment assurance at operation.6476135enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMethodology to obtain the security controls in multi-cloud applicationsconference output10.5220/0005912603270332Multi-cloudSecurity-by-designCyber-security methodologiesThreat modellingMulti-cloudSecurity-by-designCyber-security methodologiesThreat modellingComputer Science (miscellaneous)Computer Science ApplicationsSoftwareProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/644429/EU/MUlti-cloud Secure Applications/MUSAinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/644429/EU/MUlti-cloud Secure Applications/MUSAFunding InfoEuropean Commission's H2020European Commission's H2020http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84979747685&partnerID=8YFLogxK
