Abstract : Multi-cloud environments are increasingly adopted by organizations to enhance flexibility, scalability, and disaster recovery capabilities. However, they introduce significant cybersecurity challenges, including identity management, unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance risks. This paper explores the implementation of a Zero-Trust Security Framework (ZTSF) in multi-cloud networking to enhance secure data access. It evaluates key threats, discusses zero-trust principles, and proposes strategic solutions to mitigate cybersecurity risks in distributed cloud ecosystems.

Keywords : Multi-cloud Security, Zero-Trust, Secure Data Access, Cybersecurity, Cloud Threats.
