Cloud computing becomes very popular and growing rapidly since the last few years, various information technology giants such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and others speed up their growth in development of cloud computing systems and enhance services for consumers all over the world. Cloud computing provides virtual storage for the clients to avail storage, application, platform and services from their deployed servers over the internet. Various security issues such as; data insecure, data leakage, data availability, attacks; etc. could arise due to poor security policies. This paper discussed in detail security issues in terms of the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) triangle from a service provider perspective over the services they provide to the end users. By these measurements high security can be achieve in cloud computing. Additionally, to protect confidential data from users on cloud the privacy actions are not updated accordingly. Severally, data backups on cloud cause high security risks. This survey paper analyzes the main security issues which are currently present in the cloud computing and offers best practices to service providers and enterprises hoping to control cloud service.
