Evaluating risks in cloud computing: Security perspective

Abstract

The cloud computing provide resources and service as and when required over the internet. In cloud computing environment users share highly important data, maintaining centralizing storage of data and resource sharing which tents to extends financial benefit, rather managing their own systems. World is still not very open to cloud computing platform due to many security, privacy and policy related issues that are responsible for limiting the adoption of cloud computing. However, legal challenges and policies issues of cloud computing are the major cause in slow down the growth of cloud computing. In this paper potential of cloud computing with reference to Security, Privacy and Policy issues are examined as a part of major concern which makes the computing potential puny and review of existing literature for security challenges and policies issues in cloud computing.
