Abstract

Organizations worldwide are raising their concerns about security maintenance while cloud computing expands rapidly to serve as a digital transformation foundation. The study explores modern cloud security patterns while also evaluating how artificial intelligence modifies the identification and evaluation of complex cyber threats along with their prevention methods. New security threats such as insider operations and DDoS attacks and data breaches alongside insecure APIs can be detected through machine learning and behavioral analytics which enable these frameworks to automatically respond based on sophisticated anomaly detection approaches. Machine learning models surpass traditional detection methods because they improve threat detection capabilities and speed according to research while revealing rule-based systems’ limitations. The research explores how artificial intelligence tools alongside conventional security components should operate within multiple security layers to establish effective proactive protection measures. The report analyzes the crucial value of authentication practices alongside setup procedures and encryption standards as well as access control features which support the CIA trinity. Security enhancements in organizational policies emerge from the report’s discussion of practical examples and literature analysis and case studies assessment. The research concludes that resilient intelligent adaptive security systems need to protect cloud infrastructures from advancing cyber threats.

Keywords: Cloud security, artificial intelligence, anomaly detection, machine learning, threat mitigation, encryption, intrusion detection, CIA triad
