Introduction In the fast-paced realm of technology, cloud computing stands as a beacon of innovation, offering enterprises unprecedented opportunities to streamline operations and drive growth. By leveraging on-demand services over the Internet, businesses can access a wealth of resources spanning infrastructure, software, and platforms with unmatched flexibility and scalability. However, amidst the myriad of benefits that cloud computing affords, there are a persistent threat and security vulnerabilities. As cyber-attacks become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent, safeguarding sensitive data and applications in the cloud has become a paramount concern for organizations worldwide. In this context, understanding the nuances of multi-tenancy, which is a practice wherein cloud resources are shared among multiple organizations, becomes essential. While multi-tenancy enables cloud providers to optimize resource utilization and drive cost efficiencies, it also introduces unique se...
