Systemic Risk and Vulnerability Analysis of Multi-cloud Environments. (arXiv:2306.01862v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

With the increasing use of multi-cloud environments, security professionals
face challenges in configuration, management, and integration due to uneven
security capabilities and features among providers. As a result, a fragmented
approach toward security has been observed, leading to new attack vectors and
potential vulnerabilities. Other research has focused on single-cloud platforms
or specific applications of multi-cloud environments. Therefore, there is a
need for a holistic security and vulnerability assessment and defense strategy
that applies to multi-cloud platforms. We perform a …
