Cloud computing has transformed the IT landscape by offering scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions for data storage, processing, and deployment. However, the rapid adoption of cloud services has introduced a variety of risks, particularly related to cybersecurity and data protection. This paper explores the critical components of risk management in cloud computing, focusing on strategies to mitigate cyber threats and enhance data protection mechanisms. It discusses key risk factors, regulatory frameworks, and emerging best practices to help organizations adopt cloud technologies securely.
