Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses operate, offering unparalleled flexibility, scalability, and cost savings. However, the shift to cloud environments has also introduced new security challenges. This paper delves into the network security aspects of cloud computing, analyzing vulnerabilities inherent to cloud architectures and proposing robust defense strategies. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, the paper provides insights into the complexities of securing cloud networks, with a focus on management practices. It also explores emerging technologies and methodologies that can enhance the security posture of cloud-based systems.
In addition to identifying key vulnerabilities such as data breaches, misconfigurations, and insider threats, this study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and incident response in mitigating security risks. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the role of management in enforcing security policies, ensuring compliance, and fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness. By integrating traditional security measures with innovative approaches like AI-driven threat detection and zero-trust architectures, the paper outlines a comprehensive framework for effectively managing network security in cloud environments.
