Abstract : The unparalleled scalability and flexibility of cloud computing have fundamentally transformed how businesses manage and store data (Hashizume, 2013). However, security risks and hazards are becoming more and more of a concern as businesses use cloud services. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the various security concerns that cloud computing infrastructures have to address (Hashizume, 2013). By examining common threats like data breaches, unauthorized access, unsecured interfaces, and shared technological vulnerabilities, this study aims to illustrate the critical importance of proactive security measures in protecting sensitive data (Shaikh, 2011). Through an analysis of network security strategies, identity and access management, encryption technologies, and incident response planning, this paper offers insights into best practices for managing security risks in the cloud (Shaikh, 2011). This paper provides businesses with a road map for enhancing their cloud security.

Keywords : Cloud Computing, Security Risks, Threats, Data Breaches, Unauthorized Access, Shared Technology Vulnerabilities, Cyber Threats, And Encryption Protocols.
