Implementing Network Security in Multi-Cloud Environments

I’m currently working on integrating different cloud services for a client, and I’m finding that maintaining high availability while ensuring robust network security protocols can be quite the challenge. Has anyone else navigated this, especially with tools like Azure and AWS? I’d love to hear how you managed to secure your data across environments while keeping downtime to a minimum.

And i totally get where you’re coming from — > to hear how you managed to secure your data across environments while keeping downtime to a minimum is critical. In my experience, using a combination of advanced firewall rules and consistent monitoring across platforms really helped us tighten security without impacting availability too much. Have you considered implementing tight IAM policies on both Azure and AWS?

And i find using a centralized security tool like Prisma Cloud helps to manage this. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s worth it. How critical is uptime for your client?
