Traditionally, the data was stored in local servers. It used to take a lot of hardware allocation and manage the entire server along with the website, thus introducing Cloud Computing. ‘Cloud Computing’ is a way to store the data on a remote server over the internet. The process of storing, managing, and processing data is handled by the third-party, which is providing cloud computing services.

Now, as we are moving to a public cloud or hybrid cloud, the issue of cloud security or data security has to be addressed. As every individual or enterprise trusts the cloud service providers by providing their essential folders and files for the deployment on their server for which the third-party charges fees. As the number of users increases day-by-day, it is quite challenging to provide data security.

‘Data outsourcing’ is a process wherein users of the cloud are relieved from the burden of managing and storing data. Now, various factors need to be addressed to protect the data and thus provide security to cloud users.
