Ensuring Peace of Mind: Secure Transition to Multi-Tenant Cloud

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...

Adaptive/Risk-Based Authentication

Adaptive authentication is a mechanism for sending alerts or prompt customers to complete a further step(s) to validate their identity when an authentication request is considered malicious in compliance with the security policy of your company. It allows users to log in with a username and password while offering a security layer when a malicious attempt is made to access the system without any additional authentication barrier. Malicious Attempt Factors Adaptive Authentication analyzes the user interaction with your application and intelligently builds a risk profile based on the consumer behavior or your organization's security policy. The system creates a user. You can define the risk factors in one of the following ways: Pre-defined Factors You can define one or more risk factors based on your business requirements: User Role: Employees with higher user positions can carry out sensitive measures in the system; thus you can ask them to take more steps to authenticate them. Emp...

Continuous Authentication

  Continuous authentication may be considered as an open-ended confirmation process designed to provide identity verification and cyber security. This process estimates the probability of the discrete network users claiming to be during a whole session. The continuous authentication method, however, is quite new. In the past, we had static authentication where people only need to log in to any application in their Login Credentials in the system. The system then evaluates the credentials entered and matches those in the database. When the credentials correspond with the database detail, the system allows users access to their credentials successfully. However in the current time, where online fraud is becoming more technological, this static content authentication is less secure. An organisation can help to defend itself against online swindles by ongoing authentication. You try to take over the online session immediately after the user ends using it. This ongoing authentication he...

DDoS Attacks and How to Mitigate them

  Were you aware that a DDoS attack could bring down your website in a couple of minutes? Hackers focus on your website and load your server and network. Your website is unavailable and cannot be completely offline. It's not available. We're going to show you how to prevent DDoS attacks. DDoS Attacks Definition: DDoS is a cyber-targeted attack on a website or device that sends out a flood of traffic from a malicious attacker, either from single sources or from multiple. The primary objective of DDoS is to make a machine or network resource unavailable by disrupting the services of a host connected to the Internet temporarily or to its real user. If we do not use adequate security practises and tools, your application becomes non-functional. The malicious attacker uses several affected computer systems or devices or IoT devices. The DDoS attacks are all more effective with compromise devices. Types of DDoS Attacks: Volume Based Attacks Protocol Attacks Application Layer Attacks ...
