Paper Details

Cloud computing may be defined as management and provision of resources, software, applications andinformation as services over the cloud (internet) on demand. Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, ondemand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned andreleased with minimal management effort or service provider interaction [1]. With its ability to provide usersdynamically scalable, shared resources over the Internet and avoid large upfront fixed costs, cloud computing hasrecently emerged as a promising hosting platform that performs an intelligent usage of a collection of services,applications, information and infrastructure comprised of pools of computer, network, information and storageresources. However along with these advantages, storing a large amount of data including critical information on thecloud motivates highly skilled hackers thus creating a need for the security to be considered as one of the top issues whileconsidering Cloud Computing. In this paper we explain the cloud computing along with its open secure architectureadvantages in brief and emphasize on various security threats in cloud computing also the existing methods to controlthem along with their pros and cons.
