A study of security level in cloud computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is one of recent technologies paradigm that attracted many computer users. Among these are big, small enterprises and individual users. Cloud computing brought a lot of advantages where users can access computer services through internet. With cloud computing, there is no need of physical components as hardware that will support the company’s computer system. Therefore, Cloud computing enables a set of entrepreneurs to start their business with zero investment on IT infrastructure. Data are stored and accessed in a remote server over internet. However, along with the good benefits of cloud computing has to offer, there are some security concerns which make users anxious about the safety, reliability and efficiency of migrating to cloud computing. So, before implementing cloud computing, organizations need to be aware of some security metrics. We will discuss about security concerns and analyze its level based on some of the proposed solutions.
