Abstract | Cloud computing has provided enormous opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to digitalize their business processes. However, with increasing cloud computing adoption, security and privacy threats are on the rise. The aim of this book chapter is to examine the nature and the impact of cyber security threats to SMEs. In particular, by employing a quantitative approach, conducting a survey of 289 SMEs in Australia, this paper examines the cyber security practices, measures, and suggest solutions for effective cyber security practices in cloud environments. The findings highlight the most frequent cyber security threats faced by. SMEs and demonstrate the significant differences in cloud security practice measures among micro enterprises, small, and medium-sized enterprises. |
