Analysis of Cloud Computing Security Issues and Risks

In the world of computer networking, cloud computing makes a technical shift of computing services being provided locally to being provided remotely by third party service providers. The data which was previously kept under control of users now under the control of service providers cloud computing brings many financial and functional benefits as well as serious security concerns that may threaten business continuity and corporate reputation. The definition of cloud computing is still blurry in a large part, because of the magnitude of the security risks and the virtually unlimited amount of information being published over the unsecure platform. The purpose of this paper is to assess how security risk factors are affecting the existing and prospective cloud users’ cloud usage strategies. Are they simply betting that financial benefits will surpass security risks, or are they confident that cloud providers are capable of assuring an equal or higher level of security than on-premise systems? This survey, through the examination of published materials and studies, analyzes existing issues along with available countermeasures in order to evaluate the overall assurance level of cloud security. The primary goal of the survey is to assess how security concerns have affected or will affect the respondents’ decision on adopting cloud and its services. This study includes basics of cloud computing by adding its characteristics, models and their categories. Analysis also embraced the existing security concerns faced by researchers and their imposed methodologies.

A brief study on Software as a Service in Cloud Computing Paradigm

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a paradigm that provides end users or clients easy and seamless access to various applications, using the Internet without requiring any infrastructure or related software. To virtualize the access to applications and functionalities, SaaS providers use the cloud-computing environment to rent resources, thereby reducing both the capital and operational expenditure. SaaS uses the cloud-computing infrastructure to distribute applications to many users, irrespective of their location or infrastructure capacity. This one-to-many model with centralized control has the potential to transform the behavior of traditional IT architecture, its pricing, partnering, and management. With the emergence of SaaS as a delivery system, the whole software environment is moving toward a producer-consumer system, where both are distributed globally. We point out the motivation for accepting the new technologies, such as to reduce the expense, energy consumption, maintenance, etc. We also point out the challenges and risks associated with the paradigm shift. The present study categorically presents state-of-the-art research on the security issues of collaborative SaaS cloud computing and integrating service-level-agreement and quality-of-service-related issues of SaaS in cloud-computing environments.

A Critical Analysis of Features and Security Issues in Cloud Computing

A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service‟s provider. Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g. mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs). The provider‟s computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction (e.g. country, state, or data centre). Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory, network bandwidth, and virtual machines. This paper entails the features and issues in cloud computing.
