Investigation of Cloud Computing Security Issues & Challenges

Abstract

The Trends of using cloud computing in IT industries is increasing since the Inception of this innovative technology. This new shift in the industrial technology, which will grow and develop continuously their e-governance in the coming few years. Most of the enterprises are migrating towards the cloud-computing environment rapidly due to its various advantages over traditional one.

Phishing attempts affected the majority of educational establishments (60 percent) and account compromise (33 percent) in 2020. According to Gartner, consumers are responsible for more than 95 percent of cloud security flaws. Increasing frequent cyber-attacks potentially cause significant material damage if no special security measures are taken. The objective here is to investigate the security issues & challenges in terms of cloud specific vulnerabilities & threats using real time experimental setup with vulnerability scanner which further provide an ease to applications deployment.
