Abstract: After the invention of cloud computing technology, the concept of building computer system with unlimited resources becomes more simplified. With cloud computing, business owners, can manage and share their information through business organization from anywheretwenty-four hours a day. Organization and business area which are using cloud services must be aware of their information policy, involving data privacy, reliability and security. Building cloud computing system will exposetheir information that are accessed by authorized people to hazard if they did not buildstrong secure system to increase their security level and protect it by authorizing only people who need to access them. The goal of this research paper is to give short vision of cloud computing concept by identifying their different types and discuss cloud security main issues to attract both users and business owner attention to the potential risks of sharing their important data through cloud system without knowing security limitations for each model and secure their system by overcome potential threats for their cloud system.
