Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to talk about how security concerns of cloud computing matter to business as well as to other organizations and looking for the solution of the problems. Public cloud computing provides immense convenience but at the same time consists of huge privacy and security risks. The paper will discuss this problem from survey done by other researchers and the realistic problems cause by leakage of cloud data.

We take photos everyday and instantly upload to all kinds of social media and share to others by cloud service; discussing group work and editing documents through goggle drives with teammates without having actual meeting and backing up the data without consuming the storage of hardware. Nowadays cloud service has become kind of “fashion trend” so every relevant industries want to take advantage of it and become more competitive than their rivals. However the security of data accompanied the widely use of cloud computing is becoming the major concern which cannot be neglected any more.
The first article is “Cyber Security Considerations When Moving to Public Cloud Computing” by Muhammed A. Badamas, which mainly examines the potential and possibility of data security concerns to derail the future of public cloud computing. I am so interested in the Cloud computing since The reason why I chose this article is because that the author interviewed four real-life companies which represented different level of profitability and scale of operation.
The best definition of cloud computing provide by (Brandl, 2010) as “ collections of IT resources, (servers, databases, and applications) which are available on an on-demand basis, provided by a service company, available through the Internet, and provide resource pooling among multiple users.” Since the service is provided by specific company and
