摘要：Cloud computing is a technology paradigm that is
offering useful services to consumers. Cloud service providers
utilize huge computing resources spread over geographical
distances to provide services to customers. The computing
resources deployed over the Internet comprises hardware and
software used in virtualization, storage and compute purposes.
This has obvious security implications as data is transmitted and
stored in different locations over the Internet. Such data is not
within the control of the owner. Beyond data, there are other
security issues in cloud computing relating to virtualization and
applications. Security has severe impact on the decision as to
whether an organisation will adopt the cloud or not. Hence, the
discussion on security is dynamic and solutions are evolving
daily. This paper examines present trends in the area of cloud
security and provides a guide for future research. In the present
work, the objective is to answer the following question: what is
the current trend and development in cloud security? Papers
published in journals, conferences, white papers and those
published in reputable magazines were analysed. The expected
result at the end of this review is the identification of trends in
cloud security. This will be of benefit to prospective cloud users
and even cloud providers.
