Cloud Computing And Data Protection: A Legal Perspective




Sumanth Ravi, Sastra Deemed University


ABSTRACT


A potent paradigm known as "cloud computing" has surfaced, offering online users on-demand access to pooled computer resources including processing power, storage, and software. Due to its unmatched cost- effectiveness, scalability, and flexibility, it is becoming more and more well- liked by both people and enterprises. To maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and services in the cloud, security concerns have grown in importance as cloud computing becomes more and more used. Data privacy, access control, data integrity, compliance, legal concerns, identity and access management, and risk assessment are just a few of the many security difficulties it covers. It is imperative to tackle these obstacles in order to guarantee the credibility and dependability of cloud computing settings.To guard against possible cyber threats, insider assaults, and other security hazards, organizations must have strong security measures in place for their sensitive data and vital applications. In order to protect the data of their clients and guarantee adherence to pertinent laws and guidelines, cloud service providers must also have strong security measures in place.


The article addresses emerging themes such the rising acceptance of secure enclaves, confidential computing, risk assessment, and access control, as well as the increased attention on data localization regulations. Last but not least, it offers suggestions for handling data privacy and compliance concerns, which are crucial for businesses to take use of cloud computing's advantages while safeguarding sensitive data and honoring their moral and legal obligations.
