Abstract:

Organizations must store large amounts of information offsite due to storage constraints. Much of this information is stored via cloud computing. However, there are many issues facing organizations, including cybersecurity. This paper is theoretical in nature, and explores important aspects of cloud computing. It then discusses common cyber security threats and how organizations can address those threats.
