Security of critical data and systems in the Cloud remains a key barrier to adoption of Cloud services. Since the data centers could be positioned in any part of the world beyond the control of users, security and privacy are multifarious disputes that need to be understood and addressed. Various issues related to security need to be addressed in the Cloud Computing environment. The aim of this paper is to focus up an analysis of Cloud Computing security issues and also the faces of numerous unresolved issues.
