Cybersecurity Risks in Cloud Computing

Cybersecurity risks in cloud computing arise from vulnerabilities in cloud-based systems, including data breaches, unauthorized access, and service disruptions. This RiskiPedia page provides a calculator to estimate the likelihood of a data breach based on key factors such as cloud provider security level and user authentication strength.

Your Inputs

To estimate your risk, provide the following inputs:

• Cloud Provider Security Level: The security certification level of the cloud provider affects breach likelihood. Higher certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) reduce risk.

[{"ProviderSecurity_Level":"Basic","ProviderSecurity_BreachRate":"0.05"},{"ProviderSecurity_Level":"Standard","ProviderSecurity_BreachRate":"0.02"},{"ProviderSecurity_Level":"Advanced","ProviderSecurity_BreachRate":"0.005"}]

• Authentication Strength: Stronger authentication methods (e.g., multi-factor authentication) lower the risk of unauthorized access.

[{"AuthStrength_Type":"Password","AuthStrength_Multiplier":"1.0"},{"AuthStrength_Type":"TwoFactor","AuthStrength_Multiplier":"0.5"},{"AuthStrength_Type":"Biometric","AuthStrength_Multiplier":"0.2"}]

Your Results

The estimated risk of a data breach is calculated based on your inputs.
