Securing Sensitive Data in Cloud-Based Applications Using Enhanced Access Control Mechanisms And Blockchain

Cloud computing is now inevitable in most of the enterprises, as it offers high flexibility and availability. However, with more data kept in the cloud, the security problems like unapproved access and data loss have become a highly significant issue too. Keeping all those access controls in mind; this paper delves into various ways of securing sensitive data in cloud applications. The approaches includes the technologies like Identity and Access in Cloud Management using IAM, Blockchain Technology and Artificial Intelligence algorithms. The solutions that are in existence today do help, but there are issues that must be solved. To address the constraints that are put on cloud environments, this paper proposes an integrated model of security by bringing these methods together.
