Security Risks and Their Mitigation Strategies: Cloud Computing Perspective

Cloud computing enhances the performance to the highest potential for cloud consumers, service providers, and cloud providers; it makes various services possible. The term “cloud computing,” which refers to the most current advancement in internet-based computing, is very broad. The exploration of cloud computing has grown among businesses and government organisations. They can profit from the cloud computing model in a number of ways, including less capital and operational costs, with the aid of numerous relatively inexpensive computing entities and cutting-edge reference models, i.e., Platform as a Service, Software as a Service, and Infrastructure as a Service. Even though cloud computing has numerous advantages, its widespread adoption needs to be improved by several security issues, such as client and association vulnerabilities. This paper briefly overviews cloud computing, including its security threats and infrastructure problems. The technology of cloud computing is affected by these security threats. In addition, the influence of threats on security factors affecting cloud computing and cloud services is investigated. Also, it focuses on a few unique security countermeasures that can help people and businesses to avoid security threats in the cloud.
