Kattula, Naga Swetha (2025) Next-Gen Cloud: The future of secure and seamless cross-platform integrations. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 26 (1). pp. 1302-1308. ISSN 2581-9615

The rapid evolution of enterprise cloud computing has necessitated innovative architectural approaches to address the complexities of multi-cloud environments while maintaining robust security. This article explores transformative technologies reshaping cross-platform integrations in modern cloud ecosystems. The convergence of AI-driven API management platforms has revolutionized the governance and security aspects of cloud integration, enabling organizations to achieve unprecedented operational efficiencies. Confidential Computing represents a paradigm shift in data security, utilizing hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments to maintain data encryption during processing, thereby addressing critical privacy concerns for regulated industries. Zero Trust Architecture provides a comprehensive security framework that transcends traditional perimeter-based models, implementing continuous verification mechanisms across distributed cloud resources. Event-driven Architectures deliver the real-time integration capabilities essential for responsive business operations across geographically dispersed systems. Together, these technologies create a foundation for secure, seamless cross-platform integration that empowers enterprises to leverage the strategic advantages of multi-cloud deployments while mitigating associated risks. The article provides quantitative insights into implementation benefits spanning operational efficiency, security posture, compliance management, and economic impact, demonstrating how these technologies collectively enable organizations to achieve the agility required in today's dynamic business environment.
