ADDRESSING SECURITY CHALLENGES IN HYBRID CLOUD DEPLOYMENTS FOR ENTERPRISE IT

Abstract

Hybrid cloud computing has become an essential approach for enterprises seeking to balance scalability, cost efficiency, and security. However, while hybrid cloud architectures offer flexibility by integrating private and public cloud resources, they also introduce various security challenges. This paper explores the security risks associated with hybrid cloud implementations, including data breaches, compliance issues, access control vulnerabilities, and network security threats. We discuss best practices for mitigating these challenges and ensuring a secure hybrid cloud environment.
