Cloud computing has been envisioned as the next generation architecture of IT enterprise. Cloud shared infrastructure&associated services make it cost-effective alternative to the traditional approaches. However this new approach may also introduce new security breaches&privacy issues. Many research works on cloud security exists in partial forms. In this paper an attempt has been made to consolidate the various threats in a classified manner and to illustrate how these vulnerabilities affect the different cloud computing service models.
