Abstract

Cloud Computing is the evolution, over the past 20+ years, of a continuous trend towards the industrialization of IT. This is in part due to the popularity of outsourcing and hosting of increasingly industrialized service definitions and cost structures & pricing. This has also spurred dramatic growth in popularity and use of both internet and corporate wide intranets as trusted delivery models. But are they safe and secure for storing confidential information? How can we make sure that the client has total control over their data on the cloud? Is it true that in order to reduce the cost of operation and efficiency, we have to comprising giving away sensitive data? This paper does an in-depth study of the recurring vulnerabilities.
