Abstract: Cloud computing provides computing resources, platforms, and applications as a service in a flexible, cost-effective, and efficient way. Cloud computing has integrated with industry and many other fields in recent years, which prompted researchers to look into new technologies. Cloud users have moved their applications, data and services to the Cloud storage due to the availability and scalability of Cloud services. Cloud services and applications are provided through the Internet-based on a pay-per-use model. Plenty of security issues are created due to the migration from local to remote computing for both Cloud users and providers. This paper discusses an overview of Cloud computing, as well as a study of security issues at various levels of Cloud computing. The article also provides a complete review of security issues with their existing solutions for a better understanding of specific open research issues.
