Data Security Framework and Privacy Protection Strategies in Cloud Computing Environment

The rapid evolution of cloud computing technology has fundamentally transformed the landscape of data management, shifting the paradigms of storage, processing, and transmission from conventional local infrastructures to the cloud. While cloud computing proffers substantial benefits in terms of convenience and scalability, it simultaneously ushers in unparalleled challenges concerning data security and privacy safeguards. This research endeavor is poised to scrutinize the existing data security frameworks and privacy preservation strategies within the cloud computing milieu, with the overarching goal of furnishing holistic solutions to counteract both extant and prospective security vulnerabilities. In the first instance, we introduce an exhaustive data security framework amalgamating diverse security protocols, including access control, data segmentation, and real-time surveillance. This integrated approach effectively identifies and mitigates latent security threats. Additionally, this study delves into a spectrum of privacy preservation strategies, encompassing data anonymization, pseudonymous data exchange, and the integration of block-chain technology for data validation. By means of a comprehensive dissection of these data security frameworks and privacy preservation strategies, this paper endeavors not only to contribute novel perspectives to academic scholarship but also to offer pragmatic counsel to cloud computing service providers and end-users.
