A Preliminary Study On Emerging Cloud Computing Security Challenges
This is an incremental survey paper that organizes existing knowledge about cloud security challenges for practitioners and researchers in cloud computing.
This survey paper identifies and analyzes security challenges in cloud computing, providing an overview of threats and listing existing security solutions while proposing future research directions to address evolving risks.
Cloud computing is the internet based provisioning of the computing resources, software, and information on demand. Cloud Computing is referred to as one of most recent emerging paradigms of computing utilities. Since Cloud computing is the dominant infrastructure of the shared services over the internet, it is important to be aware of the security risk and the challenges associated with this emerging computing paradigm. This survey provides a brief introduction to the cloud computing, its major characteristics, and service models. It also explores cloud security threats, lists a few security solutions , and proposes a promsing research direction to deal with the evolving security challenges in Cloud computing.
