Abstract
Cloud computing is the new age of the ICT world and it is a powerful computing platform that enables individual and organizations to perform variety level of task with minimum costs. Cloud computing can provide a flexible IT architecture and environment, which are accessible through internet and can be access through a lightweight portable devices. In previous years, the number of people using cloud services had dramatically increased and lots of data had been stored inside the cloud computing environments. Apparently, the data that breaches into the cloud services had also increased every year. It is due to the hackers whom will always try to exploit the security vulnerabilities of the cloud’s architecture. Primarily, this paper describes the vulnerabilities in SaaS layer together with its attack possibilities.
