Cloud Computing Security: Risks and Mitigation Strategies

Desklib provides past papers and solved assignments for students. This report examines cloud computing security.

Abstract
Cloud computing nowadays in recent times considered as one of the latest technology and
also a new kind of delivery model in order to provide the various information as well as the
services by using the present technologies. The use of the Internet is one of the important
need for the cloud computing as it allows the communication among the clients and the
server side services. Here, the author mainly focuses on the security issues in the Cloud
Computing. Cloud Computing is considered to be as a distributed architecture which mainly
centralizes the server resources at different platforms and on various scales in order to deliver
the demanding computer resources as well as the services. The cloud mainly helps in
providing the layer of abstraction among the resources for the computing and the
architectures present at the low-level. The delivered thing that is provided to the clients is
actually not the physical infrastructure instead they are paid with a subscription fee. The
customers have the power to reduce the consumptions on the resources such as licenses of the
software, hardware along with the various services as all of such things can easily be obtained
from a single source (Subramanian, N., & Jeyaraj, A. 2018). As found from the recent studies
that various disciplined organizations underwent the 18% of the reduction in the budgets of
Information Technology from the cloud computing whereas around 16% deductions are
addressed on the power costs of the centre of data. This paper helps in providing the
overview of the various key concepts present in the cloud computing (Ramachandra et al.,
2017). According to the various surveys and researchers, the security in the cloud computing
has increased to 79.1% by the year 2015 that shows the increment of about ten percent per
year.
