CLOUD SECURITY CONCERNS

2
Cloud service concerns

The Cloud setting experience the same threats as traditional data center settings face. The
threats remain the same since the cloud services run on software which has weaknesses that
attackers try to exploit. Cloud solutions are faced with many concerns due to their nature where
there is the provision of hardware and software over untrusted networks like the internet.
Nevertheless, the responsibility to mitigate the security threats in cloud service environments is
shared by both the company and the service provider.
Data Security Breaches
Cloud service providers continue to be a target for many attackers due to the huge
presence of data stored on the clouds. The severity of the attack depends on the level of
confidentiality of the data disclosed. Exposure of information like financial statements, trade
secrets or intellectual property causes severe damage to the company. The company of concern
may also face prosecution and heavy fines in an event of information disclosure (Aljawarneh, &
Malhotra, 2018).
Reduced System Visibility and Control
Companies or cloud consumers depending on cloud services experience reduced system
visibility and control where the security responsibility for policies and network infrastructure is
transferred to the cloud service provider. This implies that there is a shift in security monitoring
and logging in regard to applications, services and data utilized by the company including users.
