Sure! Here are two security risks associated with cloud computing and their mitigations:

  1. Data Breaches: Sensitive information could be accessed by unauthorized users.

    • Mitigation: Use strong encryption for data both in transit and at rest, along with strict access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data.
  2. Inadequate Compliance: Failing to meet industry regulations can lead to legal issues.

    • Mitigation: Choose cloud providers that comply with relevant regulations and conduct regular audits to ensure compliance with industry standards.
