Abstract

In the ongoing years with the headway of innovation, cloud computing has gotten colossal mainstream among organizations, aggressors just as people because of a few favorable circumstances however the fundamental advantages being versatility, flexibility, unwavering quality, high computation power, convenience and cost-proficient as these hugely advantage all the parties in question. Be that as it may, with this exponential increment cloud computing environments have become a high potential target for the attackers as they have witnessed some drawbacks in terms of security and data privacy. One of the fundamental reasons behind for cloud computing environments being a gold dig for attackers is the presence of unencrypted data on these platforms which are indexed and along these lines effortlessly found. This paper talks about the risks, challenges and security concerns present in a cloud computing environment that affects both the cloud service providers and the clients. This paper has talked about the issues and concerns from an end-user perspective as well as from a business viewpoint also. In this way these risks, challenges and security concerns end up being compelling and proficient in deciding the general security of a cloud domain as it covers practically all the specialized issues just as well as standardization, regulations and supervising perspectives identified with it. The challenges have likewise prompted development opportunities that must be tackled. As cloud computing environment is an extremely unpredictable and dynamic as for conventional computing environment, so the customary security practices and arrangements does not delineate in cloud situations. There are unbounded potential outcomes of development in cloud computing which cannot be inconspicuous because of security and data privacy issues so these risks, challenges, and security concerns must be tended to.
