Research on Security and Vulnerabilities in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a ground place for big enterprise companies that brings together companies' assets on a versatile stage to give customers the ability to store as much data as possible in cloud storage without any hassle, but apart from the positive sides. There have been a lot of data breaches & it’s still happening. This paper outlines what cloud computing is, the different cloud deployment models & the main security risks and issues currently present within the cloud computing industry.

 Cloud computing became such an important part of the technology industry that nowadays most companies are moving on to cloud platforms. Big companies have such good cloud storage and rates for other small companies for which a lot of small companies are moving to the cloud and not only because of the low rate but also the fact that they don't have to do anything for physical storage. Since everything from user data to local database is managed by the cloud companies, it saves a lot of money and space for smaller companies to move on to the cloud. But is the cloud safe as the big corporation suggests? According to my research, some matters are making the cloud vulnerable in terms of security for the users data and other personal information that might get into the hands of a hacker easily.
