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...
For as long as passwords have existed, their use as the primary means of authentication has been challenged. Passwords are intended to be used only by authorized users, but they are easily exploited by malicious actors, making them a growing security issue. There are other security risks with passwords and their lack of uniqueness. If a user fails to update their password regularly, an attacker may be able to crack it over time. Furthermore, it is typical for users to choose weak passwords that do not contain any numbers or special characters and consist of simple words (such as "password" itself). The following are some of the most common password-based login security issues : Brute Force Attack : A brute force attack is a type of hacking that relies on trial and error to crack passwords (such as login credentials and encryption keys) by trying many different combinations. It's a basic but effective approach that's frequently used when the attacker only knows a small...
