The interest in cloud computing has increased rapidly in the last two decades. This increased interest is attributed to the important role played by cloud computing in the various aspects of our life. Cloud computing is recently emerged as a new paradigm for hosting and delivering services over the Internet. It is attractive to business owners as well as to researchers as it eliminates the requirement for users to plan ahead for provisioning, and allows enterprises to start from the small and increase resources only when there is a rise in service demand. As cloud computing is done through the Internet, it faces several kinds of threats due to its nature, where it depends on the network and its users who are distributed around the world. These threats differ in type, its side effect, its reasons, and its main purposes. This survey presents the most critical threats to cloud computing with its impacts, its reasons, and some suggested solutions. In addition, this survey determines what the main aspects of the cloud and the security attributes that are affected by each one of these threats. As a result of this survey, we order the most critical threats according to the level of its impact.

It enables the users and consumers to integrate and combine many different services together that increase the creativity and productivity [22]. From business perspective, CC is in essence an economic model for a different way to acquire and manage IT resources [23] and enables companies to adopt ready-to-use application services through a "pay-as-you go" model that saves cost, resources and time [24].…”

In the last few years, cloud computing (CC) has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. Many businesses including small, medium (SMEs) and large enterprises are migrating to this technology. The objective of this paper was to describe the opinions of enterprises about the benefits and challenges of cloud computing services in the private and public companies in South Lebanon. During 2019, a cross-sectional study which enrolled 29 enterprises used CC was conducted. The survey included questions on socio-demographic characteristics of representative of companies, and companies' factors in reference to the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework. Most (58.6%) of companies were private and micro and SMEs sized (86.8%). The cost saving (75.0%), scalability and flexibility (75.9%), security (44.8%), and improved service delivery were the main benefits that cloud offer to the business. The security aspect, the cost, and the limited provision of infrastructure remain a challenge for the adoption of CC. In conclusion, the research reveals the potential for the development of CC and obstacles for successful implementation of this new technology.
