A survey on security threats and security technology analysis for secured cloud services

Abstract

In recent, various types of cloud services such as Web-based cloud and mobile cloud that can store and access documents and multimedia files from a wide variety of client environment are getting rapidly increased. However, the problem is that if a network failure or a security failure occurs due to an intended or unintended accident, we would experience considerable damages. Since cloud services have high portion of virtualization that implies one of the physical hypervisor platforms operating on more than two organizational data, the risks are always present in cloud services at the aspect of security issues. In this paper, we analyze the security threats and security technologies for secured cloud services. We also provide the security requirements for cloud services which help to make a research direction to the new types of security threats. © 2013 SERSC.
