INTELLIGENT CROSS-CLOUD SECURITY ORCHESTRATION: TOWARD ADAPTIVE AND AUTOMATED POLICY ENFORCEMENT IN MULTICLOUD ENVIRONMENTS

The adoption of multi-cloud strategies is increasing as businesses look to take advantage of the diverse offerings
from different cloud providers. However, managing security policies consistently across multiple cloud platforms
presents a significant challenge. This paper introduces a framework for automated cross-cloud security
orchestration, ensuring consistent security policy enforcement across multi-cloud environments. By leveraging
automation, the proposed framework enables the dynamic enforcement of security policies, reducing human error
and increasing operational efficiency. We discuss the key components of the framework, including policy
definition, orchestration layers, and compliance management. A case study is presented to demonstrate the
practical implementation of this framework in a typical enterprise scenario. The results show that the proposed
framework not only simplifies security management in multi-cloud environments but also ensures compliance
with security standards and regulations. Finally, the paper outlines future directions for extending the framework
to incorporate emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning for enhanced security.
