ARTICLE SUMMARY

Abstract

“”

In multi-cloud environments, organizations can use multiple cloud service providers (CSPs) to provide their applications, data and computing resources with greater availability, flexibility and resilience. However, using various CSPs creates challenges related to securing the environment as well as the ability to detect threats, assess vulnerabilities, respond to incidents, control access and allocate resources in each of those environments.
