This study examines common data security threats and effective mitigation strategies. An online survey was conducted to understand users' security behaviours and concerns. Results show password reuse as a major issue. The discussion analyzes why password security remains a challenge and recommends multi-factor authentication as an improved approach. Overall, the study highlights the ongoing need for education and strengthened security practices to protect users' privacy and sensitive information in our increasingly digital world.

Adopting cloud technology can be an affordable way to get access to a dynamically scalable, virtualized computing environment. Optimal IT hardware, software, expertise and infrastructure management resources that may not otherwise be available from a cost perspective can be rapidly deployed and easily scaled.
While cloud computing models are attractive because of their flexibility and cost effectiveness, certain challenges must be addressed in order to provide a viable option to traditional data services. First and foremost is the issue of security. The externalized aspect of outsourcing can make it harder to maintain data integrity and privacy, support data and service availability, demonstrate compliance, and secure highly available access to applications and information. In short, cloud computing can present an added level of risk.
