Cloud Computing Security Issues

First of all we have to know about cloud computing.

Cloud computing :

Cloud computing isa set of IT services that are provided to a customer over a network on a leased basis and with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Usually cloud computing services are delivered by a third party provider who owns the infrastructure. With cloud computing, users can access files and use applications from devices that can access the Internet. Apple icloud, Amazon EC2 are examples of cloud computing.

Security :

Security is one of the major issues of cloud computing. Because the idea of handing over important data to another company is worrisome. There are some most common risks in cloud computing, like -

1. Distributed denial of service attacks
2. Employee negligence
3. Data loss and inadequate data backups
4. Phishing and social engineering attacks
5. System vulnerabilities.
6. Privacy
7. Storage security.

Challenges:

There are some challenges in cloud computing. Here are examples:
1. Security and privacy
2. Cost
3. Downtime
4. Lack of resources
5. Management of multi-cloud environment

However the problems are recovering day by day and cloud computing is becoming more reliable.
