Despite the ongoing research and technological advancements, there still remains several gaps within cloud security. Limitations associated with advanced encryption techniques must be addressed to enable scalable implementation. Improvements in virtualization isolation mechanisms are necessary to reduce cross-tenant risks.
Additionally, research should expand its focus on governance and compliance frameworks, particularly for government and highly regulated industries. Gonzalez et al. (1) highlight disparities in research emphasis, suggesting the need for more comprehensive approaches
With the emergence of technology like artificial intelligence, threat detection driven by AI and cloud-native security architectures may improve real-time monitoring capabilities. However, these technologies introduce new complexities and potential vulnerabilities. As cloud adoption continues to expand globally, the threat landscape will evolve accordingly.
