“…Even though data are stored away from the client system, there could be a possibility of data loss or leakage. As a result, data leakage is becoming a critical security issue among the various security issues in the cloud environment [34]. The loss and/or leakage of data may be carried out by internal threat actors such as disgruntled employees, contractors, and other partners.…”

Cloud computing is currently becoming a well-known buzzword in which business titans, such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, among others, are at the forefront in developing and providing sophisticated cloud computing systems to their users in a cost-effective manner. Security is the biggest concern for cloud computing and is a major obstacle to users adopting cloud computing systems. Maintaining the security of cloud computing is important, especially for the infrastructure. Several research works have been conducted in the cloud infrastructure security area; however, some gaps have not been completely addressed, while new challenges continue to arise. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the security issues at different cloud infrastructure levels (e.g., application, network, host, and data). It investigates the most prominent issues that may affect the cloud computing business model with regard to infrastructure. It further discusses the current solutions proposed in the literature to mitigate the different security issues at each level. To assist in solving the issues, the challenges that are still unsolved are summarized. Based on the exploration of the current challenges, some cloud features such as flexibility, elasticity and the multi-tenancy are found to pose new challenges at each infrastructure level. More specifically, the multi-tenancy is found to have the most impact at all infrastructure levels, as it can lead to several security problems such as unavailability, abuse, data loss and privacy breach. This survey concludes by giving some recommendations for future research.

“…These kinds of attacks have typically targeted PaaS and IaaS providers. Cloud providers must be concerned about issues such as malicious data hosting, password cracking, key cracking, the building of rainbow tables, the launching of dynamic attack points, CAPTCHA, control, and botnet command solving farms [34].…”

“…An Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) was suggested by [5] in identifying attacking point through pre-existing signatures, however, it is ineffective with legitimate content with bad intentions, even firewalls are ineffective as they can be easily bypassed. An avoidance strategy called Service Migration was proposed by [33], which has a monitoring agent and an application constantly probing each other to observe available bandwidth from both directions.…”

“…A study [5] has proposed three secured ways to cloud environment as follow: First is to secure transmission with tunneling and by using of virtual circuits. Second is to secure the servers by placing IDS, separating servers for different applications, storing hashed values, data replication and threshold for server load.…”

“…According to Cloud Security Alliance [2][3][4], Abuse of cloud services has been identified as one of the top threats in cloud computing. Few other studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] have also identified the threat and its consequences. However, they have only conferred about the importance of implementing mitigation techniques for the identified threat, but no standard methods have been suggested.…”

Cloud computing is an ever-growing technology that leverages dynamic and versatile provision of computational resources and services. In spite of countless benefits that cloud service has to offer, there is always a security concern for new threats and risks. The paper provides a useful introduction to the rising security issues of Abuse of cloud service threat, which has no standard security measures to mitigate its risks and vulnerabilities. The threat can result an unbearable system gridlock and can make cloud services unavailable or even complete shutdown. The study has identified the potential challenges, as BotNet, BotCloud, Shared Technology Vulnerability and Malicious Insiders, from Abuse of cloud service threat. It has further described the attacking methods, impacts and the reasons due to the identified challenges. The study has evaluated the current available solutions and proposed mitigating security controls for the security risks and challenges from Abuse of cloud services threat.
