Abstract :
Cloud consists of vast number of servers. Cloud contains tremendous amount of information. There are various problems in cloud computing such as storage, bandwidth, environment problems like availability, Heterogeneity, scalability and security problems like reliability and privacy. Though so many efforts are taken to solve these problems there are still some security problems[1]. Ensuring security to this data is important issue in cloud Storage. Cloud computing security can be defined as broad set of technologies, policies and controls deployed to protect applications, data and corresponding infrastructure of cloud computing. Due to tremendous progress in technology providing security to customers data becomes more and more important. This paper will tell the need of third party auditor in security of cloud. This paper will give brief idea about what are the security threats in cloud computing. This paper will analyze the various security objectives such as confidentiality, integrity, authentication, auditing, accountability, availability, authorization. This paper also studies the various data security concerns such as various reconnaissance techniques, denial of service, account cracking, hostile and self-replicating codes, system or network penetration, Buffer overflow, SQL injection attack.
