Abstract

As cloud computing continues to grow and become integral to business operations, securing cloud environments has emerged as a critical concern. This paper explores the multifaceted challenges of cloud security and proposes solutions to mitigate these risks. We discuss the inherent vulnerabilities of cloud infrastructure, the complexities of data protection, and the difficulties in maintaining compliance and governance. Specifically, we address issues such as data breaches, insider threats, and the lack of visibility and control in cloud environments. Through comprehensive analysis and experimental data, we demonstrate the effectiveness of various security measures, including encryption, access control, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, and automated compliance management tools, in enhancing cloud security. The findings highlight best practices and strategies to safeguard cloud environments against evolving cyber threats, ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, and regulatory compliance.
