ABSTRACT

Cloud computing (CC) in particular has caused a transition in scientific computing from fixed to distributed environments. There are still security issues, even as CC lowers organizational costs. By doing snowball sampling and literature research, this study finds and tackles security issues with cloud adoption. 43 problems and 89 fixes, together with recommendations, are found. Based on practitioner comments, incompatibility is identified as a difficulty that lacks mitigation methods. A lack of global standards is revealed by the study, which emphasizes context-specific approaches for secure interoperability, migration, and on-premise authentication integration. The results help practitioners focus during cloud migration on important security concerns. In the constantly changing world of cloud computing applications, this work helps to better recognize and mitigate security risks.
