Security Concerns in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Since inception, the IT industry experienced a variety of natural evolution points, most marked with rapid change followed by years of internalization and consumption. According to most observers, the industry is rapidly evolving toward services as a core component of how consumers and business users interact with both software and one another The hype is deafening in places, and the key to success is recognizing that “cloud” adoption does not represent an all-or-nothing proposition. Organizations use cloud computing as a service infrastructure, critically like to examine the security and confidentiality issues for their business critical insensitive applications. Yet, guaranteeing the security of corporate data in the cloud is difficult, if not impossible, as they provide different services like SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. Each service has its own service issues. This paper discusses the security issues, requirements and challenges that cloud service providers face during the cloud engineering and the various deployment models for eliminating the security concerns.
