Introduction: The security of data is very important for small as well as large organisations. Not only for organisations but also for banking, IT sector, education, government, etc. Data security provide the protective digital privacy to protect database, websites and if any fraud used to access the computer and it also protects data from corruption. Nowadays, Cloud Computing is growing very fastly and used by many firms and industries. Without spending a lot of expenses the client get benefit of cloud computing services. Most of the organisations not only store their data on cloud but also takes various advantages of cloud services. Cloud is composed of Software, Hardware, storage, interfaces and services that provide ease of doing computing, access of infrastructure, computing power regardless of location that means it can be accessible from anywhere if internet connectivity is there. Cloud uses server to store their data. The best example of cloud storage is Google drive which provide memory to store the data. This report reflects that how cloud computing provides different services, the issue of security of data in cloud, the challenges of data security and its solution in cloud computing.
CLOUD COMPUTING:
Cloud Computing has recently emerged as a highly successful alternative IT paradigm. Cloud provides large-scale data across the globe to meet the Cloud customers’ compute, storage, and network resource demands and also provides on demand availability of computer system resources. IT organizations use cloud computing on very large scale to store and retrieve data. The best example of cloud is Google drive and many more software such as iCloud, Microsoft Azure, cloud foundry, G suite, etc. With the advances in cloud computing and the capabilities of mobile devices, the communications capabilities of mobile devices to establish high-speed connections to vast computational resources located in the cloud. While the execution scheme based on this mobile-cloud collaboration opens the door to many applications that can tolerate response times on the order of seconds and minutes, it proves to be an inadequate platform for running applications demanding real-time response within a fraction of a second.
In Cloud, applications and its data are created and maintained virtually for the users and only accessible by a particular Cloud’s software ex. iCloud, G Suite, etc. Before 2005, users imagined renting resources, data and software in order to process, run and enhance their devices and software’s. Now, it is possible to rent any required resources users like so that this dream is now realized. In general, Cloud has three basic characteristics:
1. Scalability: Cloud options to use scalable architecture. Scalability means that hardware units are added to bring more resources to the Cloud system. Scalability issues are evaluated from the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and the Platform as a Service (PaaS) view point, as they deal with different functions.
2. Availability: The services like storage of data, platform and contents are...
