Security Vulnerabilities In Cloud Environments
Sagar Vishanubhai Sheta
Abstract
Cloud computing revolutionizes data storage and application deployment across sectors with flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. However, cloud environments comprise some unique security challenges, which could severely compromise sensitive data and critical operations. This paper discusses various security vulnerabilities related to cloud environments-common threats linked to data breach, insecure APIs, and multi-tenancy risks. This research examines cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), deployment models, and the role of key cloud providers in order to discuss mitigation strategies and future solutions within the field of cloud security. Within this context, those solutions are AI, zero-trust models, and post-quantum cryptography.
