Cloud security focuses on protecting data, applications, and infrastructure in cloud environments from unauthorized access, breaches, and misuse, while addressing unique challenges such as multi‑tenancy and shared responsibility. Common cloud threats include data breaches, account hijacking, insecure APIs, insider threats, and denial‑of‑service attacks, all of which can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability. To counter these risks, organizations adopt mitigation strategies such as strong identity and access management, encryption of data in transit and at rest, continuous monitoring, compliance auditing, and robust incident response planning. By combining proactive security measures with vigilant monitoring, cloud providers and users can build resilient systems that safeguard sensitive information and maintain trust in cloud computing.
