Abstract

Cloud computing has come a vital tool for businesses and individualities to store and access data and operations. Still, with the adding reliance on Cloud services comes an increased threat of security breaches and data loss This paper delves into security challenges within cloud computing, including issues like data breaches, unauthorized access, and a lack of transparency. Additionally, the paper examines potential solutions to these concerns, such as implementing robust authentication protocols, encryption, and conducting regular security assessments. It emphasizes the significance for organizations to be vigilant about these security risks and adopt necessary measures to safeguard their data and systems in the cloud.

Keywords

Cloud technology, Unauthorized data access, Safeguarding information, Auditing security measures, Security challenges.
