Overview of Cloud Computing Attacks and Cure

Abstract

As Industries are growing, Cloud computing
(practice of using a network of remote servers
hosted on the internet to store, manage, and
process data, rather than a local server or a
personal computer) is a new trend in IT
services. The system has various similarities
with distributed systems, and this similarity
based on the cloud also uses network
capabilities. Cloud computing is an advanced
technology which is connected with the
Internet. So it is vulnerable to the distributed
nature of the network. In the cloud, we do not
have control over the network. Any attacker
can easily enter the network and steal data. In
order to build a secure cloud service, you
must consider various aspects of the cloud
environment. In this article, you will know the
security issues and countermeasures for
building a secure cloud service, because cloud
computing relies on shared services, security
is a primary concern of this system. Cloud
computing is a service delivery model which is
consumed to increase the power of
companies’ dynamics without having to shell
out money for new hardware, training,
staffing, hiring, or software licences.
Everything is offered as a service over the
Internet. Although there are many obvious
benefits to cloud computing, one of the
biggest obstacles to its expansion is security.
This article discusses several attack strategies,
security issues, and the delivery paradigm for
cloud computing services. You can read this
article and learn the necessary steps to secure
your cloud services. Increasing the awareness
of security issues among customers will go a
long way towards helping cloud computing
gain mainstream acceptance as a viable
delivery model
