The cloud computing service is a new paradigm for providing storage and application on demand by using internet. While clouds computing becoming one of the most growing services in information technology, people have expressed apprehensions regarding security aspects of this new model.

In this research, issues in security awareness as an effect of user’s education background were being investigated.
