Abstract: The enormous volume of applications on and the requirement of massive infrastructure to provide services has requisite Enterprises to move towards Cloud Computing. Hosting applications on Public cloud have various advantages such as reduced cost and scalability; however, the security concerns pertain. A data breach can create mistrust among customers and impact the company’s brand and lead to financial losses. Subsequently , the need to secure the applications on cloud is increasing and enterprises need to employ best practices and work with their security teams and identify ways to incorporate advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence to utilize its capabilities to Identify threat, mitigate risks and predict upcoming issues and counter them on time. The volume of applications on Public cloud are rapidly increasing and the cloud ecosystem is complex and need to be safeguarded by security teams. Also, security is a major concern for cloud migration and early detection of threats and vulnerabilities is important, Application of Artificial Intelligence is of dire need to identify the threats faced in cloud computing and safeguard the security of enterprise applications. This paper proposed a framework for leveraging AI for public cloud computing to identify threats and vulnerabilities in cloud applications. This paper further discusses the applications of AI for cloud security practices.
