Cloud Security Challenges and Risk Management in Modern Cloud Computing Environment

Security Challenges and Solutions in Cloud Computing Environments

This review examines the major security threats affecting cloud computing environments, including data breaches, account hijacking, insider threats, insecure application programming interfaces (APIs), cloud misconfigurations, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, multi-tenancy risks, and regulatory compliance issues.

Cloud Security: Challenges and Solutions

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.

Review of Cyber Threat Detection Techniques in Cloud Computing Environment

Cloud is the essential component for modern computer systems, offering businesses flexible scalability and on-demand resources. However, as attackers use more complex techniques to compromise cloud networks, this technological advancement has ushered in a new era of cybersecurity challenges. Wide-ranging effects, such as data loss, financial penalties, reputational harm, and legal responsibilities, can result from such breaches. In response to these challenges, a strong security framework is essential to effectively protect cloud infrastructure. Recently, several artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been developed for cyber threat detection. Hence, to get deeper insight into this, the survey aims to analyse the role of cyber threat detection techniques and provide an overview of their applications. To achieve this, around 28 research papers from the years 2023-2026 are reviewed based on their methods, algorithms, datasets, performance metrics, and achievements. Furthermore, this work reviews different types of threats affecting the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of cloud services and resources, and examines the applications, including intrusion detection in cloud and several types of cyber threat detection systems. The core insights formulated in this review provide a comparison of analytics as well as future directions.

A Quantitative Analysis of Cloud Security Threats and Mitigation Techniques: A Study About Attacks and Preventive Strategies

Cloud computing security: A systematic review of security threats, protection strategies, and future trends

     This research addresses cloud computing security through a systematic review of the scientific literature. Its aim is to identify the most prominent security threats facing cloud environments, analyze the protection strategies and techniques used to mitigate these threats, and explore future trends and research gaps in this field. The study employed the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, based on PRISMA guidelines for organizing the search, screening, selection, and analysis phases. 25 research papers were reviewed from various databases and scientific sources. Such as Google Scholar, Scopus and IEEE Access After examining titles and abstracts and reviewing the studies' compliance with inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 studies were selected for the final analysis, while 8 were excluded for not aligning with the research topic or criteria. The analysis focused on a range of threats, most notably data breaches, cloud resource misconfiguration, account hijacking, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, privacy risks, and vulnerabilities associated with multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The review also addressed key protection strategies, including encryption, identity and access management, multi-factor authentication, the zero-trust model, continuous monitoring, and leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies for attack detection and response. The research concluded that enhancing cloud computing security requires an integrated approach combining technical solutions, organizational policies, and human awareness, along with the development of flexible security mechanisms adaptable to evolving threats. The review also highlighted the need for further applied research on the security of multi-cloud environments, privacy protection, the use of artificial intelligence, and improving interoperability and compliance with security standards.

Data Transmission Security in Cloud Computing: Protocols and Mechanisms
