Abstract	Cloud computing, with a vast scope, has become a cornerstone of modern technology, enabling scalable, on-demand access to resources and services across industries such as healthcare, finance, and education. Its flexibility and efficiency drive innovation, but the shift to the cloud brings significant security challenges. Protecting sensitive data and ensuring system reliability is critical as organizations face risks like data breaches, misconfigurations, insider threats, and emerging threats such as zero-day vulnerabilities and advanced persistent threats (APTs). The significance of cloud security lies in safeguarding user trust, maintaining compliance with regulations, and ensuring business continuity. Addressing these challenges requires robust mitigation strategies, including encryption, access management, disaster recovery, and leveraging emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain. This paper explores the extensive scope of cloud computing, the vital importance of its security, and the persistent challenges that demand innovative solutions for a secure digital future.
