Abstract

The rise of remote work and the widespread adoption of cloud computing have transformed the digital landscape, providing organizations with flexibility and scalability. However, these advancements have also introduced new cybersecurity challenges. Traditional security frameworks, which focus on perimeter defenses, are increasingly inadequate in securing cloud-based environments and remote workforces. This paper explores the evolving landscape of cybersecurity risk management in the context of remote work and cloud computing. It investigates the unique risks associated with these technologies, such as data breaches, misconfigurations, and insider threats, and provides a comprehensive analysis of risk management strategies to address these challenges. Furthermore, the paper examines best practices for securing cloud environments and managing risks associated with remote work, focusing on continuous monitoring, data protection, and employee training.
