Cloud Computing Security Challenges and their Compromised Attributes

Cloud computing is a revolutionary modern computing platform in the field of information technology. It has promptly became famous and considered the emerging field of recent times due to its potential for better utilization of computer resources like flexible IT architecture, scalability, availability, fault tolerance, computational power, computational platforms, storage and applications and to cut down costs of operations and supports. Nevertheless the security is the biggest threat to its consumers and more research needs to be done to deal with this security breach. In this paper, the better understanding of cloud computing and their security is discussed. And I investigated the major cloud computing security challenges, examined their compromised attributes and delivers the most threaten attribute to cloud computing.
