“…Vendors' lock-in reliance is also an aspect that need examination as the analysts may excessively depend on the basis or the system of the particular provider which is ineffective and a matter which does not allow innovation in technology handling. [14], [15] On the contrary to the specific viewpoint of the Secure confirmation and section control systems, the matter is very serious as it affects the integrity of the information. Examples of common login tasks include the use of weak username-password combinations which can be used to crack passwords, while the lax controls on information can also lead to unauthorized access and alterations.…”

Cloud computing has fundamentally changed the research environment by offering unmatched scalability, collaboration tools, and immediate access to resources, significantly improving the efficiency and productivity of research endeavors. This transformation has led to a substantial enhancement in the conduct of research activities The study focused on conducting a detailed review to investigate the specific security vulnerabilities that Software as a Service (SaaS) providers encounter in the context of cloud computing. The advantages of cloud computing are vast for scholars and educational institutions, yet it is crucial for them to recognize these security risks and adhere to the suggested security protocols. By adopting a methodology that prioritizes security, researchers can ensure the confidentiality and integrity of their research data, thereby nurturing a secure and thriving environment for cloud-based research initiatives. Upholding a security-centric approach is critical in protecting sensitive research information from potential threats and vulnerabilities. Researchers must stay abreast of the evolving security landscape in cloud computing and consistently enhance their security frameworks to mitigate any potential risks effectively. In essence, the incorporation of robust security measures is indispensable for the enduring success and advancement of cloud-based research endeavors.

The security issues surrounding cloud computing, a quickly developing technology that is now essential to both personal and business computing, are thoroughly examined in this study. Cloud computing presents serious security risks that require careful attention, despite its many advantages such as scalability, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility. In-depth discussions of a number of important security topics are covered in this paper, including network security, access control, data breaches, legal and regulatory framework compliance, and new threats and vulnerabilities. The paper illuminates the complexities of data and application security in the cloud environment by thoroughly examining these subjects. The study also looks at actual case studies to show how security breaches in cloud computing affect things and how to fix them. The study intends to offer insightful analyses of security challenges with practical implications by examining these cases and providing lessons learned from incidents that have happened in various cloud computing scenarios. Our comprehension of the complex nature of security threats and the tactics used to counter and mitigate them is improved by looking closely at these cases. This study looks into the potential benefits of cloud security enhancements from emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, in addition to identifying existing challenges. The research investigates the potential benefits of these technologies in terms of automated security responses, adaptive access controls, and proactive threat detection. Cloud environments may be able to improve their security posture against new and sophisticated threats by utilizing the powers of AI and machine learning. Furthermore, by projecting future trends and challenges in cloud security, this paper offers a forward-looking view of the changing field. Comprehending these possible obstacles is crucial to creating proactive and flexible security approaches that can successfully tackle the ever-changing landscape of cloud computing. This paper's ultimate objective is to offer insightful information about practical approaches and industry best practices for safeguarding cloud environments. Organizations can navigate the complexity of the cloud landscape while protecting their data and applications from the ever-evolving threat landscape by striking a balance between the enormous potential of cloud computing and the necessity of maintaining strong security measures.

Vendor lock-in is a well-known phenomenon in the software industry. Strongly relying on vendor-specific implementation may cause financial and technological hardships to manufacturers and can establish monopoly situation of a vendor. With the spread of cloud-based development tools, vendor lock-in is present not only during operation, but also during development. This article provides an overview of risk types introduced to projects by vendor lock-in situation. Key factors of vendor lock-in are also identified, especially with regard to modern cloud-based CI/CD services. Later, a test software architecture is demonstrated how to minimize CI lock-in, followed by a detailed comparison of two build automation systems that can be used in practice for this purpose. The applicability of build automation systems is demonstrated on the implementation and test results.
