Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 152))

Abstract

Nowadays Cloud Computing provides anew paradigm to organizations, offering advantages, not only for its speed but also for the opportunity of save costs when implementing new applications, by just paying for the resources you use. This article identifies the threats, risks and attacks, also identifies their causes, in addition, proposed solutions from the National Institute of Standards Organization and Technology (NIST) and Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) are also mentioned here.
