Cloud computing security

Cloud computing provides opportunities for scalability, availability, and performance but also poses risks if not implemented securely. Key risks include vendor lock-in, lack of governance and control, non-compliance, and various technical risks around isolation faults, data leaks, network attacks, and provider compromises. Migrating to the cloud requires carefully analyzing requirements, evaluating cloud models and providers, defining security controls, and having business continuity plans to mitigate risks. With proper planning and risk mitigation, cloud computing can be implemented securely.
