Cloud Computing Security Challenges, Threats and Vulnerabilities

Abstract

Cloud computing has grown to become an integral part of present as well as future information technologies. This technology has been designed to be used with internet by providing features such as information storage, remote access, etc. Cloud computing has been proved as an effective tool for all the provided services but it also comes with various types of threats. Over the years of its development, different fire attacks and data theft has been reported as a crucial factor since the data stored in the cloud by an organization or an individual user is basically confidential and sensitive. These data are illegally accessed by many hackers and further it will be used to fire attack the user. This paper mainly aims to highlight such attacks and provide suggestions for sorting the data breaching issues.
