In this paper we analyse the security issues, threats
and challenges in wide acceptance of cloud
computing, because there may be loss of data and
privacy. Researchers Scholars and IT security
professionals must press forward towards practical
achievements in security and privacy to users. Our
study identifies top security concerns of cloud
computing, these concerns are security risks,
techniques, problems, challenges and security issues
