Abstract

Cloud computing is having the capacity to dispose off the prerequisites for setting up high-cost computing framework and promises to provide the flexible architecture which is accessible from anywhere. The data in the cloud computing resides over an arrangement of network resources which enables position of the requirements for setting up costly data centers framework and information to be acquired to via virtual machines, and these serves might be arranged in any piece of the world. The cloud computing environment is adopted by a large number of organizations so the rapid transition toward the clouds has fueled concerns about security perspective. There are numbers of risks and challenges that have emerged due to use of cloud computing. The aim of this paper is to identify security issues in cloud computing which will be helpful to both cloud service providers and users to resolve those issues. As a result, this paper will access cloud security by recognizing security requirements and attempt to present the feasible solution that can reduce these potential threats.
