        abstract = {The cloud computing technology allows organizations and individuals to share infrastructure, which reduces the cost of conducting business operations. The large number of security threats associated with cloud computing discourages some organizations and individuals from adopting this technology. The key types of security risks can be put into three categories, including network-related, data, and cloud environment threats. The cloud environment threats include denial of service and account hijacking. Data threats include the loss or breach of critical information. The network-related sources of threat include malicious insiders, abuse of cloud services, and insecure interface APIs. Segregation of duties and effective recruitment procedures are some of the key strategies that should be used to manage administrators’ access to data. The users’ access to the data can be managed through the application of configuration management tools, manual control of servers, enterprise-identity solution, exposure of AD and LDAP to the internet, and directory-as-a-service. },
