In the contemporary digital era, e-governance has become essential for delivering government services, enhancing transparency, and fostering citizen engagement, yet integrating advanced security measures remains a challenge, particularly with cloud computing. This research introduces the E-GovShield model, an advanced e-governance framework that integrates robust cloud security technologies to ensure data protection, user privacy, and efficient service delivery. The model effectively mitigates various cyber-attacks, achieving success rates between 94% and 99%, with false positive rates below 3%, and rapid detection and mitigation times between 1 and 4 seconds. Under normal conditions, it handles document submissions, information retrievals, and transaction processes with response times of 150 ms, 100 ms, and 200 ms, respectively, and supports up to 10,000 concurrent users, demonstrating scalability and resilience even under peak loads. These findings significantly enhance the security and reliability of e-governance systems, fostering greater public trust and regulatory compliance, while providing a benchmark for integrating advanced cloud security measures in digital governance frameworks and other sectors seeking to secure their digital infrastructure.
