SUBJECT:
A computing cloud is a dense cluster of computers working together in such a way that to a
normal observer, they appear to be one giant computer resource, so the content that appears to be
running on one singular laptop or desktop, mobile phone or any other computing device. (Li, et
al., 2018) It is running over the internet on an array of computers that are sharing resources with
each other, storing vast amount of data and other meta-data. With the advancement in technology
and rise in virtual environment work systems, cloud technology became an inseparable part
offering data scalability advantage with reduced cost of maintenance and storage (Ali, Khan, &
Vasilakos, 2015).
Problem Background – Data Security
As the expansion in technology took over standard and obsolete data storage and data access
mechanism, various newer issues ranging from data safety to data theft started emerging.
Multiple threats ranging from various severity like virus attack, denial of service attacks and
hacking of the client’s site are the biggest cloud computing data security issues. Data residency is
one of the biggest concerns of cloud users as they have no control over the location and access of
their valuable data once it is in the cloud (Rao & Selvamani, 2015).
A cyber-criminal looks for weaknesses in the cloud's security in any way possible. An attack
occurs when the systems and its components are being used by identifying its weaknesses to
infiltrate the network. Once an attack player gets access inside a system files, the network and
