Cloud computing is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications. Current drift of organizations is moving toward the technology "Cloud Computing". Cloud Computing directly refers to the virtual organizations. Cloud Computing is the long dreamed vision of computing as a utility, where users can remotely store their data into the cloud so as to enjoy the on-demand high quality applications and services from a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Since, many local intrusion detection & audit practices are taking place; our virtual organization is under these threats. Privacy concern of information about each member between organization & member keeps the information private & centralized. With its innovative features, it raises the question of trust, privacy & security. In this paper I would try to identify threats to security in cloud computing and how these threats can be dealt with. Moreover we will also discuss the latest solutions available and their relative advantages and drawbacks.
