Review of Cyber security Threats and Defense Mechanisms in Cloud Computing

As cloud computing presents scalable, flexible, and flexible technology, it has totally rewritten way organizations store, process, and manage data. Still, there are currently serious security problems due to the growing use of cloud services. The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of cloud-based systems are at risk by challenges involving data breaches, insecure application programming interfaces (APIs), insider threats, malware attacks, account hijacking, and denial-of-service attacks. The major weaknesses in cyber security the cloud computing environments experience are reviewed in detail in this study, along with the defence strategies employed to minimize those risks. It involves an in-depth review of security solutions, such identity and access management, intrusion detection and prevention systems, encryption techniques, secure authentication methods, and respect in security standards. In order to improve trust and dependability in cloud computing platforms, the work presents current research trends and stresses the significance of put reliable safety frameworks and proactive security strategies in effect.
