Abstract

Cloud computing is a developing archetype with marvelous momentum, but its exceptional aspects worsening the security and privacy challenges. This article provides an overview of the security and privacy challenges pertinent to public cloud computing and points out considerations organizations should take when outsourcing data, applications, and infrastructure to a public cloud environment. We have also proposed a security mechanism “security as a service” for cloud computing. It also explores the roadblocks and solutions to providing a trustworthy cloud computing environment.

Keywords: cloud computing security; privacy challenges it outsourcing
