Fortifying the Cloud for Comprehensive Survey of Data Protection Strategies and Emerging Challenges

Abstract

This paper presents a survey on the adoption of cloud use has increased among researchers, academia, government, and enterprises. Cloud advantages including initial investment, ideal scalability, and a variety of services are driving this trend. The cloud has many benefits, but data protection is a major problem in cloud computing and information security. Numerous strategies have been developed to address information security. These remedies exist, but the literature lacks a detailed study of their efficacy. This gap highlights the necessity to identify and assess the current body of work to see whether these solutions fit certain needs. This article fills this gap by meticulously examining cutting-edge cloud data exchange and protection approaches. Each approach is examined for its information security functions, potential breakthrough solutions, workflow, successes, scope, gaps, future directions, and more. A detailed assessment that compares methodologies is vital to the article. This review reveals method strengths and flaws. Then, these strategies' suitability for certain needs is addressed. The article finishes with a discussion of research gaps and future perspectives, inspiring prospective researchers to study and contribute to safe cloud data management.
