Abstract
In this modern era, all the organizations seem to be shifting their data and services to cloud because of the increase in information leaks and data thefts. It has become easier for intruders to break into the organization’s data stored locally. As cloud provides a significant hike in security levels, it is slowly turning into the future of data storage. It has become crucial to acknowledge the issues regarding cloud security. Cloud security is the security of all the services provided by the cloud—storage, servers, networking, and databases. In this paper, the issues related to the same are covered along with the mitigation proposed to deal with those problems. The key to the overall security of the cloud is identity access management (IAM). IAM is inherently more secure than a simple username and password combinations because of the profile of information IAM collects. It can make access to data and networks a much more convenient process.
