Abstract This paper intends to explore the key features of cloud security, highlighting core practices and strategies in data and application protection within cloud setups. First, it explains cloud computing and the different types of services - service models and deployment models. It subsequently centres on cloud security, detailing the potential risks and threats that could occur, including data breaches and account hijacking. The paper also covers fundamental security practices to reduce these risks, such as data encryption and access control. Thus, to establish the security of information saved on a network during the process of transmission, data encryption must be carried out. In the same vein, user management methods such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and multifactor authentication must be enabled and enforced to minimise access to sensitive information and systems. The need to protect cloud applications is also addressed, emphasising the importance of application security testing and container security. Therefore, each stage of the application development lifecycle can be secured, reducing vulnerabilities and the potential for attacks. Finally, the paper includes a discussion on cloud security compliance and regulation. Organisations must adhere to specific standards and regulations to secure sensitive data and meet the various requirements. By fulfilling these requirements, organisations can avoid legal and reputational risks.
