Cloud Security in Financial Services: Implementing Scalable and Compliant Multi-Cloud Architectures

Abstract

Financial institutions are rapidly transforming their operations through cloud adoption while facing intensified cybersecurity challenges and regulatory requirements. The migration to cloud infrastructure demands sophisticated architectural patterns and robust security controls to maintain compliance and operational efficiency. Multi-cloud architectures incorporating shared services models, centralized identity management, and automated compliance mechanisms have emerged as essential frameworks for secure cloud operations. Organizations implementing comprehensive security strategies demonstrate improved threat detection, reduced incident response times, and enhanced compliance capabilities while maintaining business agility.
