Enhancing Cloud Security: A Comprehensive Review of Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review of Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) and their critical role in enhancing cloud security. As organizations increasingly migrate to cloud environments, the need for effective security measures becomes paramount to safeguard sensitive data and maintain compliance with regulatory standards. The review examines various IDPS technologies, their integration into cloud architectures, and the challenges inherent in their implementation. Additionally, it explores emerging trends, including the incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning, to improve threat detection and response capabilities. Through a synthesis of existing literature and case studies, this paper aims to highlight best practices and offer insights for organizations seeking to bolster their cloud security posture.
