  • Abstract:
  • Cloud infrastructure has become a cornerstone of modern IT operations, offering unparalleled scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. However, as organizations increasingly migrate their critical data and applications to the cloud, security has emerged as a paramount concern. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of network security measures in cloud infrastructures, focusing on the unique challenges and solutions associated with cloud environments. The paper explores the fundamental differences between traditional on-premise security and cloud-based security, emphasizing the shared responsibility model that governs cloud security. Key areas of focus include identity and access management (IAM), encryption, network segmentation, and the use of advanced security technologies such as Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS), firewalls, and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. The study also examines the importance of compliance and regulatory requirements in cloud security, considering frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Additionally, the research delves into emerging threats in cloud environments, such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, insider threats, and the security implications of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures. Through a detailed analysis of current best practices, this paper highlights the critical role of automation, continuous monitoring, and threat intelligence in enhancing cloud network security. Case studies of prominent cloud service providers, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, are presented to illustrate how industry leaders are implementing and innovating security measures to protect cloud environments. The paper concludes by offering recommendations for organizations to strengthen their cloud security posture, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach that integrates people, processes, and technology.
