Due to its increasing popularity in information technology market, many new service providers are trying to implement this new model to provide number of services to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). However, there could be many security issues faced by users in their hired clouds. In this paper, we presented survey findings to understand how SMEs are deploying cloud services models, what issues they are facing and how existing cloud security tools are meeting data security challenges. We investigated a number of security issues in different clouds through a quantitative survey with close-ended and open-ended questions to cloud user SMEs. The findings of this paper shall help the new users in cloud selection for their businesses.
