Abstract:
The students are becoming more technology
oriented and the classroom teaching is changing,
therefore it’s changing to enhance. Because of its
vast advantages, one of the latest technologies of
students’ learning currently for education is cloud
computing. By sharing IT services in the cloud,
educational institution can offer the essential tools to
students, teachers, faculty, and staff to help them
succeed. However, there is several security
challenges associated with cloud environment that
inhibit the proper adoption of this technology. Mostly
organization wants a framework to keep their data
more secure over cloud. This paper focuses on the
attacks and risks of cloud computing on the
education system and how can provide the quality
education by solving the security challenges of this
technology. It presents proposed framework to avoid
security risks efficiently when adopting cloud
computing in institutions of higher educational
services. The proposed system identifies security and
privacy challenges, highlights cloud-specific attacks
and threats and clearly illustrates how to mitigate
these attacks and threats.
