Risk Management Strategies in the Cloud Computing Sector Abstract Cloud computing and related technologies have grown exponentially in the recent past. Cloud computing has offered several solutions to both the individuals, companies, and even to large corporations and organizations. However, even with the benefits that come with cloud computing, there are many issues related to security and continuity that cloud computing has compromised. Cloud computing platforms are vulnerable to threats and risks, and it is up to the administrators and managers of cloud computing in individual companies to take a step forward and put in place measures to manage the vulnerabilities. It is evident to note that the conventional approach cannot apply in this area as far as the development of a risk management framework is concerned. This study looks into previous submissions and propositions on frameworks to be used for cloud computing. A more in-depth look is initialized, and the strengths and weaknesses of each structure are determined. The paper then proposes an updated and more effective approach in securing cloud computing platforms for organizations today. Introduction Technology is…
