Security Threats in Cloud Computing Models: Domains and Proposals

This work displays metrics about publications available in the literature which deal with some of the seven security threats in Cloud Computing based in the guide entitled "Top Threats to Cloud Computing" from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). Through this research, it is identified the most explored threats, distributed the results between fifteen Security Domains and identified between eight types of solutions proposed for the threats. In face of those results, it was observed that publications in the literature mostly show a certain trend as the proposals presented for the involved Threats. However, in some cases some variations occur, what motivated us to fulfill an analysis of standard deviation in the results obtained in our research. Based on these data, we present our conception regarding this behavior.
