Abstract

Cloud computing is being adopted by a wide range of sectors, including regulatory agencies, large organizations, and small businesses. Cloud technologies' improved capabilities and efficiencies are what are responsible for their widespread acceptance. The use of machine learning (ML) to strengthen security measures is a crucial component of this expansion. In order to identify sophisticated attacks, zero-day vulnerabilities, and insider threats that frequently elude traditional security systems, ML-based security solutions use advanced analytics and predictive modelling techniques. Large data sets are analysed by these solutions to find trends and abnormalities that could point to security flaws. This research critically evaluates the application of machine learning algorithms in assessing the risks associated with cloud computing. The aim of this study is to comprehend the working of the algorithms which could boost the detection of new threats. Thereby it provides a stronger security structure for cloud based systems through the use of machine learning. The outcomes of this study are expected to assist in developing of cloud security making them more effective.
