As enterprises increasingly migrate their data and operations to the cloud, new challenges related to security and privacy have emerged. While cloud platforms offer scalability and cost-efficiency, they also introduce complexities in protecting sensitive data, maintaining compliance, and enforcing access controls. This paper explores the post-migration landscape of cloud security and privacy, identifying key risks, mitigation strategies, and real-world outcomes for organizations after cloud adoption. By analyzing recent academic research, industry frameworks, and case studies, this study evaluates how organizations can achieve security resilience and regulatory compliance in post-migration environments. A mixed-methods research approach involving survey data and incident analysis informs a comparative framework presented in the findings. The paper concludes with a strategic roadmap for enhancing post-migration cloud security and privacy practices in hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.
