A computer-implemented method for enforcing privacy in cloud security may include (i) identifying, by a computing device, a set of files in a backup process for a cloud service, (ii) determining, by the computing device, that at least one file in the set of files is a private file, (iii) modifying, by the computing device encrypting the private file, the set of files in the backup process, (iv) completing the backup process for the cloud service with the modified set of files, and (v) enforcing a security policy of the cloud service based on a scan of file hashes. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A computer-implemented method for efficient backup deduplication may include (1) identifying a file to be divided into chunks for deduplication, (2) requesting, from a server, a chunk size to use when dividing the file for deduplication by submitting at least one attribute of the file to the server, the server selecting the chunk size based at least in part on a projected chunk reuse rate when the file is deduplicated according to the chunk size, (3) receiving from the server, in response to requesting the chunk size, the chunk size to use when dividing the file for deduplication, and (4) dividing the file for deduplication into a plurality of chunks according to the chunk size. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A SPOC server receives a request to initiate a transaction utilizing multiple separate distributed cloud based services located on separate datacenters, from an endpoint. The SPOC server generates a transaction identifier for the transaction. The SPOC server transmits the generated transaction identifier to the endpoint. Receipt of the generated transaction identifier directs the endpoint to call each one of the separate services, with the transaction identifier. Over time, the SPOC server receives a separate service completion notification with the generated transaction identifier from each one of the separate services. Each separate service completion notification indicates that the corresponding service has completed. Only in response to receiving a separate service completion notification from each one of the separate distributed cloud based services, the SPOC server transmits a transaction completion notification with the generated transaction identifier to the endpoint. The transaction completion notification indicates that the transaction is complete.
