Cloud computing can be considered as still in infancy however there are a number of organizations and standard bodies drafting cloud standards and APIs. There is a worry in the community about cloud computing security. One of the risks that people see is that providers have to manage potentially millions of customers and this presents a challenge (Ohlman, Eriksson, & Rembarz, 2009). What this depicts is that many people are worried that the cloud service providers will not be able to cope with the large scale of or that the infrastructure will not be able to scale properly with large amounts of usage. Privacy is important for organisations, especially when individual’s personal information or sensitive information is being stored but it is not yet completely understood whether the cloud computing infrastructure will be able support the storing of sensitive information without making organisations liable from breaking privacy regulations. Many believe that cloud authorisation systems are not robust enough with as little as a password and username to gain access to the system, in many private clouds, usernames can be very similar, degrading the authorisation measures further. If there was private/sensitive information being stored on a private cloud then there is a high chance that someone could view the information easier than many might believe. The customer is advised to only give their data or use the cloud providers system if they trust them. Cloud service providers believe encryption is the key and can help with a lot of the security
