Abstract

The amount of information and data in the digital era is increasing tremendously. Continuous online connectivity is generating a massive amount of data that needs to store in computers and be made available as and when required. Cloud computing technology plays a pivotal role in this league. Cloud computing is a term that refers to computer systems, resources and online services that aim to protect and manage data in an effective, more efficient and easy way. Cloud computing is an important standard for maintaining the integrity and security of sensitive data and information for organizations and individuals. Cloud security is one of the most important challenges that the security of the entire cloud system depends on. Thus, the present study reviews the security challenges that exist in cloud computing, including attacks that negatively affect cloud resources. The study also addresses the most serious threats that affect cloud security. We also reviewed several studies, specifically those from 2017-20, that cited effective mechanisms to protect authentication, availability and connection security in the cloud. The present analysis aims to provide solutions to the problems and causes of cloud computing security system violations, which can be used now and developed in the future.
