 PAPER SUMMARY As businesses increasingly rely on cloud computing for storage, processing, and application deployment, cloud security is becoming a crucial concern in today's digital economy. Although cloud computing has many advantages, it also poses a special set of security problems and difficulties that must be resolved. A thorough and multi-layered approach is necessary for cloud security. To protect the privacy, integrity, and accessibility of data and applications in the cloud, a variety of technical controls, strong rules and processes, staff training and awareness, and ongoing monitoring are used. Organisations may take use of cloud computing's advantages while reducing potential security threats by being aware of and addressing these challenges.

By dragging, dropping, and connecting various tools into the workspace to process your data, all workflows are created in the same manner. We can instruct particular tools or even the workflow itself on how to act and handle our data through the Configuration Window. Any tool that is selected in a workflow will display its configuration window, allowing you to change any associated parameters. In this instance, the input tool from our initial process has been chosen, and several settings for our csv import, such as the file's delimiter, are displayed.( Alteryx designer interface  no date) References: Avidon, E.
