Storage Area Network is an important technology because it may give a lot of data volume with a high recovery chance and secure access, work and central management with data.

Cloud Storage has many advantages: data mobility, teamwork, stability, scalability, quick start. The main threats include destruction, theft, corruption, unauthentication, replacement, blocking. Storage Area Network components (architecture elements, protocols, interfaces, hardware, system software, exploitation) have a lot of vulnerabilities. Cloud Storage may be attacked by software, functional elements, clients, hypervisor, management systems.

A lot of companies design storage solutions: DropBox, QNAP, WD, DELL, SEAGATE.

Key words: SS, cloud technologies, NAS, SAN, DAS, attack, secure methods.
