Cloud security spend for hybrid clouds in the UK and Germany is projected to grow from ~US$4.0B in 2025 to ~US$11.5B by 2030. The dual‑axis figure shows cloud security spend rising as compliance adoption rates improve from ~35% to ~72%. Share consolidates around vendors offering robust multi-cloud security, strong compliance features, and scalable data residency solutions. Risks include vendor fragmentation, system integration issues, and security breaches; mitigations include strong multi-cloud strategies and regulatory monitoring tools.

Cloud security compliance is expected to grow from ~40% in 2025 to ~75% by 2030, while hybrid cloud spend increases from ~US$4.0B to ~US$11.5B. Supply chain security adoption is expected to rise from ~40% to ~80%. TCO reduces by ~45% by 2030 due to better resource optimization and risk management. The bar chart summarizes shifts in key KPIs: cost savings, security compliance, and incident response time.

1) Hybrid cloud infrastructures are becoming the standard for public sector organizations with an increasing focus on compliance and security. 2) Multi-cloud and vendor-agnostic security frameworks are critical in reducing risks and achieving compliance. 3) Cloud security automation tools enable faster responses to threats and breaches. 4) Cross-cloud integrations are vital for ensuring data privacy and regulatory adherence. 5) AI and machine learning enhance incident detection and threat mitigation in hybrid environments. 6) Data residency regulations will continue to evolve, requiring new compliance measures. 7) Zero-trust security models are increasingly adopted to secure hybrid cloud infrastructures.
Government agencies, defense, and healthcare sectors are leading cloud security adoption for hybrid infrastructures. Public sector organizations require highly secure, compliant systems for sensitive data. Healthcare focuses on ensuring HIPAA compliance and secure patient data management. Defense and aerospace prioritize uptime, availability, and protection of classified information, while the supply chain sector focuses on risk mitigation for logistics and inventory management.
By 2030, U.K./Germany cloud security spend mix will be: Security Protocols (~40%), Vendor Bidding (~25%), Localization Mandates (~20%), Data Residency Solutions (~10%), and Compliance Automation (~5%). Adoption will be concentrated in government and public sector hubs, with growing interest in hybrid cloud models across local municipalities and public health organizations.

Leading vendors in hybrid cloud security for public sector organizations include AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, alongside cybersecurity vendors like Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet. Differentiators: (1) integration of hybrid-cloud security and compliance automation, (2) multi-cloud vendor strategies, (3) flexible SLAs, (4) incident detection tools, and (5) regulatory reporting. Procurement guidance: Ensure compliance with local data laws, demand strong SLAs for data protection, and ensure vendor independence.
