Abstract

Cloud Computing (CC) is revolutionizing the methodology by which IT services are being utilized. CC is being introduced and marketed with many attractive promises that are enticing to many companies and managers around world, such as reduced capital costs, and relief from managing complex IT infrastructure, to name a few. However, along with desirable benefits come risks and security concerns that must be considered and addressed correctly. This paper highlights and categorizes many of security issues introduced by the "cloud"; surveys the risks, threats and vulnerabilities, and makes the necessary recommendations that can help promote the benefits and mitigate the risks associated with Cloud Computing.
