Threats, Risks, and Mitigations in Cloud Computing Environment

Cloud computing has many benefits in various sectors. However, there are threats such as malware, data loss, and misuse of access rights, as well as risks, that occur in the cloud computing environment. This study aims to identify and further explore the types of threats, risks, and mitigation strategies in the cloud computing environment, as well as what risk mitigation components are needed to mitigate risks in the cloud computing environment. This research method uses Kitchenham because it is commonly used to conduct systematic literature reviews (SLR). Sources only refer to journals and proceedings indexed in the IEEE Explorer, ScienceDirect, Springer, ACM Digital Library, Wiley Online Library, and Emerald Insight database. The results of this study identified 173 papers based on keywords, 68 papers based on titles, and abstracts, and produced 59 selected papers based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, where the type of threat produced 20 findings, the type of risk 11 findings, and risk mitigation strategies 13 findings, and produced 4 findings for risk mitigation components. Based on the findings, it can be used to mitigate risks in the cloud computing environment.
