Security Challenges from Abuse of Cloud Service Threat

Abstract

Cloud computing is an ever-growing technology that leverages dynamic and versatile provision of computational resources and services. In spite of countless benefits that cloud service has to offer, there is always a security concern for new threats and risks. The paper provides a useful introduction to the rising security issues of Abuse of cloud service threat, which has no standard security measures to mitigate its risks and vulnerabilities. The threat can result an unbearable system gridlock and can make cloud services unavailable or even complete shutdown. The study has identified the potential challenges, as BotNet, BotCloud, Shared Technology Vulnerability and Malicious Insiders, from Abuse of cloud service threat. It has further described the attacking methods, impacts and the reasons due to the identified challenges. The study has evaluated the current available solutions and proposed mitigating security controls for the security risks and challenges from Abuse of cloud services threat.

Data security techniques in cloud computing based on machine learning algorithms and cryptographic algorithms: Lightweight algorithms and genetics algorithms

“…The detection and handling of these threats is made difficult by the malicious threats' execution, which also raises the likelihood that the system may fail. When these malicious injection codes are executed, cloud servers behave erratically on a regular basis, and during this abnormal behavior, attackers may take advantage of the system's security flaws to get unauthorized access to sensitive and confidential data. Abuse of cloud services : One of the biggest risks to cloud computing is the abusive usage of cloud services 47,48 . Large amounts of data may now be hosted by both small and enterprise‐level enterprises without much effort thanks to the growth of cloud services.…”

“…For instance, equipped users have the potential to directly or indirectly increase security risks and, as a result, violate the service provider's conditions of use. Data loss : Attackers seek to obtain sensitive data without authorization by executing a number of assaults. Such assaults may also result in significant data loss 47,48 when processing the necessary data on heterogeneous cloud servers and communicating with them. The intensive assault efforts may affect cloud systems in a variety of ways.…”

However, the unique storage capacity of the cloud has also made it possible for both authorized users and hackers to conveniently store and disseminate malware, illicit software, and other digital resources.…”
