Abstract

A revolutionary process, cloud computing is transforming the way in which company hardware and software design and purchase are carried out. Because of the ease with which cloud data centers can be accessed, users are opting to transfer their data and application to cloud storages. However, the services and support expected from the cloud service providers to the users or towards the data stored by the users is not sufficient. Ease of access and round the clock availability of the data is not the only thing expected by the CSP. The integrity of the data, privacy of the data, and security of the data should be utmost responsibility of the CSP. According to this report, security rift, information theft, and unreliability of cloud-based data storage are all problems associated with the use of cloud storage. Finally, we are presenting potential cloud-based solutions to the difficulties that have been identified.
