Brief Study on Cloud Security

Abstract

Cloud security is a protection of data, application, and network into the cloud environment (whether it’s a public, private or hybrid cloud). In the cloud environment resources are shared among servers, users and individuals since the data centre of cloud provider is spread all over. We can access the data from any corner of the world. Even though cloud computing is becoming popular, security concerns start to arise. While using the cloud infrastructure the client gives up the control to the cloud provider on many issues which may affect security. The most critical one is when the owner starts to lose the control of information which is spread into the cloud. This article briefly explains about how to get the advantages and benefits of cloud computing technology while getting rid of disadvantages like data, network and application attacks. It describes the security issues associated with cloud and cloud security providers like AWS (amazon web service) platform.
