A Report on Data Breach and Prevention in Cloud Services

This report delves into the critical issue of data breaches within cloud services, examining their causes, impacts, and potential prevention strategies. The report highlights the vulnerabilities inherent in cloud environments and emphasizes the importance of robust security measures. It discusses various techniques to mitigate the risks of data breaches, including encryption, the implementation of API-based Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), network monitoring, and data backup and recovery processes. The report also references relevant academic sources to support its analysis and recommendations, providing a comprehensive overview of the challenges and solutions associated with securing data in the cloud. The report also suggests that by implementing these techniques, organizations can protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and maintain data integrity within cloud-based systems.

1Data Breach
Data Breach Projection:
Data breach stands for intentional as well as unintentional leakage of the secure data
into the open environment which might cause a significant impact on the data resources as
well as on the stakeholders. Most of the data breach has been held on sentimental fields like
political fields, military fields as well as in the government sectors, thus it is essential to
reduce the data breach in order to provide more security to the important information by
protecting them from the external threats (Rao et al., 2015).
According to studies the application of cloud computing has a significant impact on
the organizational services. However, in the field of cloud computing security issues are still
there as it has been noticed that the significance of data breach is present there. In order to
mitigate the security threat by data breach the organization must opt for an authentication
process by which only the authorised people will be able to utilize the information resources
present in cloud network. Followed by this the organization must structure a framework by
which it will differentiate the user access. Along with that the deployment of authenticate
software as well as the monitoring devices can help to protect the cloud network from the
data breach (Datta, Bettinger and Snyder 2016).
Data Breach Prevention:
Along with the protection processes it is also important to prevent the cloud network
from the impact of data breach. According to studies it has been noticed that there are several
techniques present in the cloud field which can mitigate the data breach possibility. Those
techniques includes the process of encryption by which only the sender and the receiver will
have the encoded and decoded key. Along with that implementation of API based CASB,
network monitoring and warning alert process as well as the incorporation of Back up process
or data recovery can effectively prevent the data breach in cloud computing. Followed by the

above mentioned process the encryption process will work by encoding the information and
will send those information to its sender who will have a decoder by which it will be
understandable for that user only. API based CASB works with controlling the threats by
alerting the network about the data leakage (Dhasarathan et al., 2015).
