Survey on Threats and Risks in the Cloud Computing Environment

Abstract

A very important job in handling Cloud Computing services is handling threats as early as possible, both threats to users or threats to cloud service providers. Threats in the cloud context are all things that will bring loss to company assets that will cause IT risks to be stored in cloud computing. The purpose of this study is to survey threats in the scope of: Data, Applications, Infrastructure, and services in general in the cloud computing environment. The types of threats or attacks in the context of the cloud have been defined through surveys of relevant articles. The research methodology used is conducting a survey on some of the results of previous studies relating to threats or obstacles in cloud computing carried out in 5 steps, namely: writing the formulation, conducting a search, conducting selection and evaluation, analysis, and summarizing the results. From the survey results, there are many types of threats / obstacles in the cloud computing environment, which are divided into 4 (four) groups, namely: Threats to applications, Threats to data, Threats to infrastructure, Threats to cloud services in general. The results of this study are to provide a more detailed understanding of the types of threats for each service in the cloud.
