| dc.description.abstract | Cloud computing is considered as a future computing technology. Many organizations are already switched to cloud computing environment to benefit from its multidimensional services. Numerous cloud services are geographically dispersed and most of these services consist on sensitive information of cloud users. Where Cloud computing provides a lot of benefits, on the other hand, it is full of security risks. The security aspects remained a core issue of cloud computing since many years. Specially protecting users’ data against malicious attacks has been challenging for cloud computing service providers. Therefore, our study focuses on the cloud computing data security issues that mostly concern with its confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA). The study is entirely based on qualitative research approach that includes previous researches and some existing articles published by famous information security vendors such as National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The study also covers a detail discussion regarding cloud computing, its service models, and common challenges. However, numerous researches have already been done in this topic. Thus, besides shedding lights on cloud computing data security issues, our study presents the possible solutions to ensure data protection in cloud computing. As the study consists on the various solutions covered from other researches, thus it can be considered as an overall data security solution guide for cloud computing. | en_US |
