A Survey on Cloud Security Issues and Attacks

Abstract

Today’s world is widely using Cloud Computing because of its global nature. It provides a lot of services at very low cost. Due to its emergence a number of attacks can be performed over the cloud by the attackers or intruders. In this paper different types of attacks on cloud computing and their respective solutions are surveyed. Security of cloud is of great concern hence care must be taken to provide secure cloud and secure cloud services.we outline several threat models for cloud computing systems, discuss specific attack mechanisms, and classify proposed defenses by how they address these models and counter these mechanisms. This examination highlights that, while there has been considerable research to date, there are still major threats to cloud computing systems.
