Abstract

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses store and process data, offering flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency. However, with these benefits come significant security risks. Cloud environments introduce unique vulnerabilities that organizations must address to ensure data protection and maintain compliance. This paper explores common cloud security vulnerabilities, methods for identifying risks, and strategies for mitigating them. By reviewing existing literature and best practices, the study emphasizes the importance of proactive security measures in preventing data breaches, unauthorized access, and service disruptions.
