A Study on Security Mitigation Models in Cloud Computing

In the present cloud computing scenario, with varied complication levels among SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, many types of security challenges exist. In order to overcome the above, there also exist many models to mitigate them. With this two way growth, it becomes essential to choose the right mitigation model for a particular class of security threats. This paper aims at analyzing the different mitigation models for various security threats possible across different cloud computing scenarios so that the cloud users, researchers and service providers would get benefited. The cloud computing concept is integrated for the current study and its implications and risks are identified in terms of security.
