The topic of ''the cloud'' has attracted significant attention throughout the past few years. It allows resource sharing that includes software, platform and infrastructure by means of virtualization. Cloud Adoption in Oil&Gas companies have approached cloud with caution, but they are increasingly deploying cloud services. Energy companies have carefully weighed whether they should opt for a public cloud versus a private one, and which applications are fit for deployment via the cloud. For the most part, the industry has opted to use cloud for generic purposes. Generic business functions like payroll process and procurement are being run through the cloud, along with customer relationship management, likely through software-as-a-service offerings that have become wellknown. Security is as much of an issue in the cloud as it is anywhere else. Different people share different point of view on cloud computing. Some believe it is unsafe to use cloud. Cloud vendors go out of their way to ensure security. This paper aims to understand the effects of security and privacy concerns on educational use of cloud services. This proposed a research model based on Ajzen's (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Following the TPB, the research developed a model, which posits that staff attitudes predicted by security and privacy perceptions and behavioral intentions are predicted by attitudes towards using cloud services. The Model was assess the based on the data collected by means of survey questionnaires. Results supported the proposed model, validating the predictive power of the TPB.Keywords

Purpose - The purpose of the study was to identify the factors underlying the decision to adopt online banking in Iran.
Design/methodology/approach - The samples used in this empirical study includes 560 persons who were among Iranian Internet users and completed the interactive questionnaires. The statistical analysis which has been used in regard to the dichotomous decision of whether to adopt Internet Banking services was Logistic Regression.
Findings - The results show that one of the dominant relationships that have been observed in our study is the link between the decision to use Internet Banking and the experience of using Internet. Certain demographic variables like gender also proved to be robust predictors of the adoption status. This inquiry documents that perceived level of security of Internet transactions in Iran Internet users don't have impact on acceptance of Internet Banking. These findings can provide a valuable tool for the expansion of Internet Banking and remove impediments of Internet Banking acceptance.
Practical implications - The results presented in this paper can be of assistance to financial institutions that either operates in Iran or Islamic countries. Useful insights are also provided with regard to security and strategies fostering the acceptance of Internet Banking.
Originality/value - The analysis is based on a random sample of Internet users at Iran that rarely discussed in previous literature.
