Paper Title
CLOUD COMPUTING SECURITY CONCERNS, CHALLENGES AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Abstract
Abstract - Only a few benefits that cloud computing offers users include scalability, effectiveness, and flexibility. Yet, one of the biggest issues with its application is security concerns. This research study's goal is to analyse cloud computing security issues and how they could affect businesses. The Paper provides a broad overview of the architecture and service models for cloud computing while mentioning any potential security flaws associated with each layer. It also discusses the various cloud computing deployment choices, including public, private, and hybrid clouds, as well as the security concerns each one raises. Some of the biggest security problems with cloud computing are data breaches, unauthorised access, insider threats, and poor data management. Data and apps are housed on shared infrastructure, which adds to these difficulties and makes it challenging to pinpoint the origin of a breach or illegal access. Organizations must put the right security measures in place, such as access control, data encryption, and monitoring, to address these security issues. Unfortunately, putting these safeguards into practise can be difficult, especially in multi-tenant settings. Moreover, regulatory compliance standards like HIPAA and PCI-DSS increase the complexity of cloud security. The report ends by emphasising the necessity of continued research to pinpoint and resolve security issues related to cloud computing. It also underlines how crucial it is to create industry standards and best practises to aid businesses in ensuring the security of their data and cloud-based applications. Overall, this research study offers a thorough examination of the security issues raised by cloud computing and their possible effects on businesses. In order to secure corporate data and cloud-based apps, it highlights the importance for organisations to implement robust security measures and set up best practises.
