Abstract - Cloud computing makes it possible to manage and send out IT services to organizations in a scalable, flexible and cost-effective way. Consequently, the cloud computing is rapidly going popular as it also poses many significant cybersecurity challenges .This research paper investigates the unique security considerations inherent in cloud computing environments and proposes strategies for enhancing cybersecurity in the cloud. Through a comprehensive analysis of current practices, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats, this paper aims to provide insights into the state of cloud security and offer practical recommendations for mitigating risks and strengthening defence. Key areas of focus include data security, identity and access management, cloud infrastructure protection, compliance requirements, and emerging technologies for cloud security. By addressing these challenges proactively, organizations can realize a robust cloud system that allows customers to utilize the capabilities of the cloud while their data and resources have been ensured to be private, secure and available.
