CLOUD COMPUTING: SECURITY ISSUES AND CHALLANGES2
Introduction
It has been seen that with the improvement of the technology, the use of the emerging
technologies are growing in the industries of the different sectors. Regarding this, it has been
seen that the use of the cloud technology is using in a significant way [4]. Certain advantages
of using the cloud architecture that has made the organizations from the different industries to
use this cloud technology. However, there are certain challenges those are associated with
the use of the cloud storage architecture in organization [6]. The main aim of this paper is to
evaluate different security issues and the challenges regarding cloud computing architecture.
Apart from that the solutions and recommendations can be made on the basis of the factors
discussed in the paper.
Discussion
The cloud computing architecture provides way for the online storage of data in
industry. One of the advantage of using the cloud computing architecture is that data can be
accessible from anywhere and any place [12]. Moreover, the security of data can be enhanced
through the use of cloud computing architecture.
Along with advantages of using cloud computing architecture, there are certain issues
and challenges those can create problem while using the cloud computing architecture in the
organisation. It has been seen that the security is the main issue for the regarding the cloud
architecture in the organization [1]. Apart from that there are other issues those can be both
technical and non-technical in nature.
Some of the issues those are related to the security of the cloud are as follows:
Security: Maintaining issues in a proper way is one of the important issues regarding
use of cloud computing architecture in organization. There are various cloud deployment
models those can be deployed [5]. The selection for the deployment of the cloud is dependent
