The growth of cloud computing become one of the fastest technologies adopted in the industry. Nevertheless, cloud computing security issues are still debated and organizations are struggling in safeguarding the security of cloud computing. Moreover, challenges in identifying and evaluating risks in cloud computing are add-on factors. In this study, we identified threats in cloud computing using judgment-based assessment. Twenty experts were selected to assess the likelihood of threats. The fuzzy Delphi method was used to analyze the assessment results and the list of threats was ranked and discussed in the results. The findings show that security risks are highlighted as the top-ranked compared to organizational or non-cloud-related threats.
