Cloud Computing provides an efficient and flexible way for services to meet escalating business needs. Cloudshared infrastructure and associated services make it cost effective alternative to traditional approaches. However, they may also introduce security breaches and privacy issues. As more cloud based applications keep evolving, the associated security threats are also growing. Many research works on cloud security exist in partial forms of either specifically on cloud issues or virtualization-related security issues. In this paper, an attempt has been made to consolidate the various security threats in a classified manner and to illustrate how cloud and virtualization vulnerabilities affect the different cloud service models.
