Abstract
Cloud computing is the technology that allows the users to charge computing resources according to their
requirements. The users are majorly shifting towards the Cloud for their business requirements as it offers many benefits.
However, as the shape of the cloud computing is emerging and developing rapidly both conceptually and in reality, contractual,
economic, service quality, interoperability, security and privacy issues still pose significant challenges. Hence, security at
different levels is necessary in order to ensure proper implementation of cloud computing environment such as: data related
security, server, internet, and database and program access security. This paper introduces a detailed study of the cloud
computing security issues and attacks focusing on the cloud computing layers and the service delivery types. In addition, we
need to ensure data security at network, physical and application layer to maintain a secure cloud. There are various issues that
need to be addressed with respect to security in a cloud computing environment.
