Abstract

In the last decade, cloud services have become an essential tool for the transformation of industrial companies, standing out for their scalability, flexibility, and sustainability. This study aims to analyze how these technologies enhance versatility in companies currently facing challenges related to cybersecurity while contributing to sustainability in industrial processes. The PIOC and PRISMA methodologies were employed, selecting 31 relevant articles from databases such as Scopus and IEEE as part of a systematic literature review. The results revealed that cloud services enable industrial companies to adjust their resources in real-time, improving operational efficiency by 30-40% and reducing costs by up to 25% compared to traditional methods. However, significant risks were identified, including insufficient authentication and misconfigurations, which account for 60% of security incidents. Proposed strategies such as advanced firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and cybersecurity training have shown to reduce these risks by 50%, furthermore, virtualization and intelligent resource management have demonstrated a 20-30% reduction in energy consumption, minimizing the carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices. Companies adopting green technologies in data centers achieve compliance with environmental regulations in over 90% of cases. In conclusión cloud services provide significant value to industrial companies but require comprehensive strategies to balance security, sustainability, and operational versatility. Additionally, exploring emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, is recommended to optimize risk management and maximize the benefits of cloud services' versatility in industrial environments.
