Abstract

Cloud computing is not just a service of computing or how the computing service is delivered. It is transforming the computing landscape, which means many big technical, economic and business changes will happen. Cloud computing has emerged with a promise to decrease the cost of computing implementation and deliver the computing as service, where the client pay only for what he needed and used. On the other hand, many security concerns arise with cloud computing. This paper introduces a practical study for cloud computing security threats. This study was conducted on a real SaaS provider with more than one thousand and five hundred clients for 285 days.
