A REVIEW ON DATABASE SECURITY CHALLENGES IN CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT
Keywords:
Cloud Computing (CC),, Database As A Service (DBAAS), Database Security, ChallengesAbstract
Cloud computing is a system that offers many resources that may be customized, allowing for decentralized data management and storage. Cloud technologies have revolutionized concepts of data storage and access in organizations thus offering organizations flexible and efficient solutions. Cloud services such as DBaaS allows user to utilize sophisticated capabilities of databases without the responsibility of conventional databases. But with cloud computing, there is a great concern of security since issues such as data privacy, access control and compliance to regulatory requirements are paramount. This paper also explores the cloud computing architectural model, the differences between DBaaS and conventional cloud offerings, and the security risks of DBaaS. Much as it discusses the key areas of database security like data confidentiality, data integrity, and data availability, it provides information on security threats like the SQL injection or data breaches. Besides, it provides guidance on vulnerability management and incident handling in a context of cloud computing. To this end, this paper focuses on the conceptual clarification of the cloud database security best practices and the shared responsibility model between the providers and the users.
