SECURITY IN CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

By offering scalable and easily available computer resources over the internet, cloud computing has radically changed IT infrastructures all around. Ensuring the security of cloud systems remains a major difficulty even if they are used widely in many different fields. This abstract explores the intricate elements of cloud computing security including technical advancement, challenges, and methods. Data breaches, insider threats, and compliance complexities are among the main challenges; strong protections like authentication, authorization, and encryption will help to maintain data integrity and security. By redefining trust models and access restrictions in cloud systems, blockchain and zero-trust architecture are absolutely essential in increasing security. Emphasizing the importance of tying security measures with legal obligations, regulatory compliance systems such GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO/IEC 27001 set rigorous demands on cloud providers and users. Service level agreements (SLAs) help to define and explain providers' and customers' security obligations. They list procedures for problem resolution and service guarantees. This abstract ends with stressing the always shifting nature of challenges in cloud security and the pressing need of adaptive security solutions to effectively lower developing hazards. It offers a whole view that is absolutely essential for comprehending and controlling the complexity of protecting cloud computing systems.
