Managing data and security in multi-cloud environments

In this section, we will explore the profound significance of data security and privacy in the dynamic multi-cloud environment. We will look into best practices for securing data across multiple cloud platforms, address data residency and sovereignty requirements, and navigate the intricate web of data privacy and compliance considerations.

Understanding data security and privacy in multi-cloud

It is evident that data plays a central role in the functioning and vitality of cloud-native applications. In this context, data serves as the lifeblood, fueling the operation and functionality of these applications. Data encompasses a wide range of information, from user data and application state to configurations and logs. It holds immense value, but its exposure to threats (such as data breaches, data loss, data tampering, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and so on) can be catastrophic. In the multi-cloud environment, where data...
