Cloud computing allows organizations to access computing resources like data storage and applications over the internet without direct management. This increases capabilities without requiring new infrastructure or staff. Cloud services are accessible on-demand from anywhere in the world securely. Cloud security protects infrastructure, applications, and data through authentication, access control, and privacy measures to support compliance. While moving data and apps to the cloud raises concerns over security, governance, and compliance, maintaining robust cloud security helps organizations achieve cloud benefits like lower costs and improved reliability.
