Cloud storage allows organizations to store information of service providers at remote sites. However, cloud computing has encountered challenges, notably security issues and scheduling problems, primarily stemming from concerns related to data confidentiality and efficient resource allocation among users. These challenges are inherent to cloud computing, where data and computational resources are shared among multiple users and often hosted on remote servers operated by third-party providers. Hence, our objective is to identify and analyze the challenges associated with cloud computing, with a particular focus on data security. in addition to conduct scientific review and compare multiple recent research studies. The focus will be on identify challenges and advantages of cloud computing and data security when going through various data security measures that are currently employed in cloud computing. eventually we will come up with valid recommendations based on the findings. 2023 50 61 2102 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/IJWAC.070105 https://americaspg.com/journal/20/article/2102 https://americaspg.com/storage/61720820403.pdf
