EXPLORING THE SECURITY OF CLOUD COMPUTING: AN ANALYSIS OF THREATS AND COUNTERMEASURES FOR CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE ERA OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Summary/Abstract: Cloud computing has gained immense popularity for delivering computing resources over the internet, enabling organizations to efficiently and cost effectively store, process, and access data from any location worldwide. However, the security of data stored and processed outside of the organization's premises has raised concerns. In order to address the changing threat landscape and guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of data in the cloud environment, we address the latest developments and best practices in cloud security in this article, which delves into the complex world of security threats and related countermeasures for cloud computing in the contemporary era of digital transformation. Offered a thorough examination of cloud computing security risks and solutions in the age of digital transformation. The paper defines cloud computing, explores its advantages and disadvantages, identifies major security threats in cloud computing, including data breaches, insider threats, and denial of service attacks, and discusses the countermeasures that can be implemented to mitigate these threats. Τhe most popular cryptographic algorithms in cloud computing environments as part of their defense are presented. Special emphasis is given on the mode of operation of these algorithms is presented so that we can choose the appropriate one in each situation. Finally, access control and monitoring are presented in order to have a thorough understanding of protection methods in cloud computing environments
