Abstract

Cloud computing presents a new trend for IT and business services which typically involves self-service access over internet. Over these features, cloud computing has the advantages to enhance IT and business ways by offering cost efficiency, dynamically scalable, and flexibility. However, using cloud computing has raised the level of the network security risk due to the services are presented by a third party. In addition, to maintain the service availability and support data collections. Understanding these risks through cloud computing help the management to protect their system from security attacks. In this paper, the most serious and important risks and threats of the cloud computing are discussed. The main vulnerabilities is identifying with the literature related to the cloud-computing environment with possible solutions to overcome these threats and risks.
