Cloud Security and its Solutions

Cloud Security popularly known as cloud computing security covers both aspects of computing security and network security. Cloud security has become an important matter to address; considering its growth and prospect. Cloud Testing provides affordable, on demand services.

It can be better said that, cloud commuting is not just a technological change but it is a social change. We are now considering that clouds have touched our daily life. The smart phones that we use, backs up users’ data on the cloud and it is being synchronized every moment.  Internet browsers have already started backing up data on clouds and provide localized printing solution via clouds. We have also seen that various operating system (OS) provider companies have already started developing their OS fully customized to use the cloud. Many organizations’ have started providing cloud SQL services which help in creating relational databases.

Although cloud computing has many advantages, cloud security is still a big challenge which is restricting and delaying the cloud adoption by its customers. There are many cloud security concerns that need to be addressed.

One of the major issues is protection of client data and applications it uses on the cloud. The provider must ensure that their cloud infrastructure is securely protecting their client data and applications. Data is more vulnerable to be hacked when it is being processed. Resource allocation can be used to provide enhanced security for data. Multi-tenancy technology used by clouds enables sharing of resources for large pool of clients. There are chances that data may be leaked accidentally because of such multi-tenancy. Other aspect is, if a user deletes his data, it should be deleted from all the back-up data bases provided by clouds.
