Abstract

The rapid adoption of multi-cloud environments has transformed modern digital infrastructures by improving scalability, flexibility, and service availability. However, the distributed nature of multi-cloud systems introduces significant cybersecurity challenges, including unauthorized access, lateral movement attacks, data breaches, and sophisticated network intrusions. Traditional perimeter-based security mechanisms often struggle to provide effective protection in such dynamic and heterogeneous environments. To address these limitations, this study proposes a federated deep learning-based zero-trust architecture for intelligent intrusion detection in multi-cloud systems. The proposed framework integrates the principles of zero-trust security, where every user, device, and application is continuously verified, with federated learning that enables collaborative model training without exposing sensitive organizational data. Deep learning models deployed across multiple cloud domains learn local intrusion patterns and share model parameters rather than raw data, thereby preserving privacy and regulatory compliance. The architecture incorporates continuous authentication, behavioral monitoring, anomaly detection, and decentralized intelligence to identify both known and emerging cyber threats in real time. Furthermore, the framework enhances resilience against data leakage, model poisoning, and insider attacks through secure aggregation and trust evaluation mechanisms. The…
