Research Area: Cloud Security
Today, Cloud Computing is rising strongly, presenting itself to the market by its main service models, known as IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, that offer advantages in operational investments by means of on-demand costs, where consumers pay by resources used. In face of this growth, security threats also rise, compromising the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of the services provided. Our work is a Systematic Mapping where we hope to present metrics about publications available in literature that deal with some of the seven security threats in Cloud Computing, based in the guide entitled "Top Threats to Cloud Computing" from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). In our research we identified the more explored threats, distributed the results between fifteen Security Domains and identified the types of solutions proposed for the threats. In face of Those results, we observed that publications in the literature mostly show a certain tendency as the proposals presented for Threats involved. However, in some cases there is some variation, it motivated us to carry out an analysis of standard deviation in the results obtained in our protocol. Based on these data, we present our conception regarding this behavior.
