From Barriers to Bridges: Cloud Computing in Support of Privacy and Security

In the modern economy, cloud computing continues to be a transformative technology for digital societies, enabling digital transformation while at the same time driving privacy, security and economic efficiencies. Nevertheless, the use of cloud services increasingly faces significant scrutiny in the European Union.

Some of the concerns related to geopolitical tensions and supply chain control in the context of cloud services are relevant and need to be addressed. However, the continued debate around international data transfers and the regulatory approaches of some regulatory authorities may curtail the full benefits of cloud services without addressing these geopolitical tensions and supply chain concerns or realizing significant gains in protecting the rights of the individual.

To get to the heart of this issue, this papers seeks to show the complexities in navigating the regulatory landscapes in the context of providing cloud computing services and advance recommendations for the beneficial adoption of cloud computing technologies.

In particular, we:

• Demonstrate how the adoption of cloud services can enhance privacy and security and facilitate the deployment of global data compliance programs
• Critically analyze trends in the enforcement practices around the adoption of cloud services
• Explore the influence of legal, technical and policy factors on the adoption of cloud services
• Present strategies for the development of an efficient and secure cloud infrastructure.
