Abstract
Today, despite many benefits of cloud computing technology, including cost savings, agility, increased flexibility and scalability the issue of information security is the main obstacle to the tendency of organizations towards cloud computing. In addition to infrastructure issues and political factors in Iran, there are many security risks in cloud computing technology. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to extract and rank these security risks. In this regard, by studying the theoretical foundations related to the research topic, these factors are extracted and categorized according to the opinion of experts, and then by designing questionnaires of different pairwise comparisons, collecting comments and combining different weighting methods based on pairwise comparisons by Copeland aggregation method, security risks were ranked. In this ranking, data privacy risk was the first priority of cloud computing security risks.
