Cloud computing has become a new computer model which aims to deliver reliable, customizable and scalable computing environment for end-users.

Companies that require application hosting could potentially benefit from the provisioning of computing infrastructure resources as a service. In addition to the economic advantages of an on-demand computing environment, businesses also enjoy the flexibility to scale up or down their services to accommodate the changing nature or the business requirement without having to invest in new equipment however, migrating data to the Cloud exposed the data to be an easy and vulnerable target for all the maliciously intended actors all over the world.
