Harnessing Advanced Cloud and Cybersecurity Strategies for Wind Energy Optimization

DR. JAGANNATH SAHOO
CISO, GUJARAT FLUOROCHEMICALS LTD.

We are a leading producer of Fluoropolymers, Fluorospecialities, Refrigerants and Chemicals for applications in varied industries. We adopt a hybrid multi-cloud strategy, distributing workloads across on-premise, private, and public clouds to enhance flexibility, resilience, and cost efficiency while ensuring security, compliance, and seamless management through automation and unified frameworks.

LEVERAGING EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR EFFICIENCY AND SECURITY

We deploy edge computing solutions to process data closer to the source, reducing latency and enabling real-time analytics. This enhances operational efficiency, supports AI-driven insights, and ensures faster decision-making, especially in latency-sensitive applications. The Serverless computing has accelerated development by automating scaling, reducing infrastructure management, and optimizing costs with pay-as-you-go pricing. It enables faster deployment and enhances agility. Though we still face cold start latency, vendor dependencies, and limited execution time constraints, which require careful architecture planning and optimization.

CYBERSECURITY CRITICAL IN CLOUD STRATEGY

Cybersecurity is crucial in our hybrid/multi-cloud setup to protect growing data traffic. We implement zero-trust security, unified identity management, encryption, and continuous monitoring to prevent breaches, ensure compliance, and maintain data integrity across diverse cloud environments. We invest in continuous learning through certifications, hands-on training, and cloud sandboxes. Cross-functional collaboration, upskilling in DevSecOps, and staying updated with emerging trends ensure our teams adapt to rapid cloud advancements effectively
