ABSTRACT

Abstract: Cloud computing describes effective computing services provided by a third-party organization known as cloud service provider for organizations to perform different tasks over the internet for a fee. Cloud service provider’s computing resources are dynamically reallocated per demand, and their infrastructure, platform, and software, and other resources are shared by multiple corporate and private clients. With the steady increase in the number of cloud computing subscribers of these shared resources over the years, security on the cloud is a growing concern. In this review paper, the current cloud security issues and practices are described and a few innovative solutions are proposed that can help improve cloud computing security in the future.
