Cloud computing is based on internet, anyone who can access internet can use cloud services across the world. The main thing about cloud computing is it does not require any big setup or big infrastructure and cost of services are less. When an application is moved to cloud everything will be provided by cloud provider in pay per usage method and data will be stored in cloud without requirement of physical servers. The word cloud security refers to the provision of security and the preservation of data or cloud computing systems. Making data available in cloud will be good for applications but sometimes it poses risks by exposing data which have some security problem like loophole in it. Protecting hardware, data storage, data servers, operating systems, middleware, data, and end users is part of cloud security. Many cloud computing services are provided third party users which poses security issues. This paper discussed about cloud computing, security, and their solutions.
