Abstract

Many new developments are often plagued with security concerns. Although emerging innovations have all the potential to change systems and people's lives, security issues hinder them adoption and usage. The transformations of data management brought by cloud technologies have helped both individuals and companies. While the cloud allows data storage, connectivity, and recovery stability, it is not immune to the security threats that other new technologies pose. Concerns have been presented over the protection and privacy of cloud users' data. Data leakage, data manipulation, condemnation, a Lack of Services assault, impersonating personalities, also unauthorised access to data are all examples of activities which can appear while data is outsourced to a cloud. Individuals and organisations will orchestrate these attacks, which will jeopardise the reliability and security of cloud networks. The vast majority of colleges and universities are digitising their records, which are then stored in the cloud and handled by a third party. Despite the sacred importance of educational information, the study explores the impact of cloud security problems on schooling. According to the findings, security is crucial for the secure migration and application of cloud technology in the educational sector. It also shows that the growing security threats associated with cloud technology can prevent many education institutions from using cloud services.
