Abstract

Cloud computing has revolutionized how businesses store and access data, but it also introduces new risks. Securing data in the cloud requires a combination of strategic approaches, robust policies, and technological solutions. This paper explores best practices for safeguarding cloud environments, including encryption, access controls, regular security audits, and the implementation of a zero-trust architecture. By identifying key risks and offering practical solutions, this research provides a roadmap for businesses to enhance cloud security and mitigate potential threats
