Data Privacy Policies and Technical Measures in Cloud Networking: Current Trends and Future Directions

Abstract

Data privacy in cloud networking is increasingly vital as organizations migrate sensitive information to cloud environments. This paper examines current trends and future directions in data privacy policies and technical measures within cloud networking. It explores the evolution of regulatory frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA and their impact on cloud service providers and users. Technical measures such as encryption, access controls, and data anonymization are analyzed for their effectiveness in protecting data confidentiality and integrity. The paper discusses challenges such as cross-border data transfers and compliance with varying international standards. Future directions include advancements in homomorphic encryption, differential privacy, and AI-driven privacy-enhancing technologies. By addressing these issues, organizations can enhance data privacy in cloud networking while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and maintaining user trust.
