Abstract

Cloud computing is among the most beneficial solutions to digital problems. Security is one of the focal issues in cloud computing technology, and this study aims at investigating security issues of cloud computing and their probable solutions. A systematic review was performed using Scopus, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Web of Science databases. Once the title and abstract were evaluated, the quality of studies was assessed in order to choose the most relevant according to exclusion and inclusion criteria. Then, the full texts of studies selected were read thoroughly to extract the necessary results. According to the review, data security, availability, and integrity, as well as information confidentiality and network security, were the major challenges in cloud security. Further, data encryption, authentication, and classification, besides application programming interfaces (API), were security solutions to cloud infrastructure. Data encryption could be applied to store and retrieve data from the cloud in order to provide secure communication. Besides, several central challenges, which make the cloud security engineering process problematic, have been considered in this study.

Highlights

  • Clinical service demand on technology has been increased; cloud computing solutions, telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and electronic health can frequently provide better services [1]

  • The present study aims at identifying barriers, challenges, security issues, and solutions in implementing cloud computing in the healthcare industry

  • We identified common security challenges and potential solutions for cloud technology

Summary

Introduction

Clinical service demand on technology has been increased; cloud computing solutions, telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and electronic health can frequently provide better services [1]. Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications such as data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software [2]. Rather than owning their computing infrastructure or data centers, companies and organizations can lease access to whatever consists of storage or processing by the cloud service providers [3]. Shared resources, including servers, networks, storage tools, and application software, use cloud computing significantly [4, 5]. The adoption of cloud technology has been increased in all industries, including healthcare [6, 7]
