Journal Title: Journal of Computing and Management Studies (JCMS) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

Recent advances in cloud technologies have gained much eminence in successfully delivering computing services, but yet to receive much needed attention to offer comprehensive evaluation of the existing security and privacy issues. Due to the distributed and dynamic infrastructure, cloud computing has some inherent limitations that easily affect its security attributes. Preliminary studies have showed most of the organizations are reluctant to migrate their assets into cloud mostly because of the security and privacy concerns. The study is to find out all the possible security threats and challenges along with corresponding compromised security attributes in cloud infrastructure. The study will enable any researchers to develop cumulative knowledge for future research extension and evaluation in cloud computing.
