Automation serves as a foundational element of an efficient hybrid cloud strategy. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) enables consistent provisioning and configuration management across hybrid cloud infrastructures. By specifying cloud infrastructure as reusable code, IaC mitigates configuration drift and reduces the likelihood of human error, thereby ensuring uniform security baselines.
Centralized data management solutions help implement consistent security policies and access controls across hybrid multi-cloud environments, mitigating the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. Encryption, data masking, and tokenization techniques further enhance data security and protect against insider threats and external attacks.
