A Study on Security Services and Threats in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Digitalization has infiltrated all sides of modern culture today. One of the most important aspects of making this procedure secure is authentication. Cyber criminals are putting in a lot of effort to break into existing network channels and launch destructive assaults. When it comes to businesses, information is a valuable resource. The question here is how to safeguard crucial information. This takes into account a variety of features of a society that is commonly referred to as hyper connected, such as online communication, purchasing, access rights control, and so on. We shall cover the ideas of MFA and KBA, or Multi-Factor Authentication and Knowledge Based Authentication, in this study article. The goal of MFA and KBA is to be utilised for human-to-machine interactions, providing an easy-to-use and secure validation mechanism while gaining access to the service. We will also look into the existing and evolving factor suppliers (sensors) that are used to authenticate a user in this study. This is a critical tool for safeguarding data against malicious insiders and outsiders. The basic purpose of access management is to give authorised users access to a service while simultaneously preventing unauthorised users from accessing it. To ensure access management, a variety of strategies can be used. In this paper, we will cover various strategies for ensuring enterprise-ready access management, with a particular emphasis on multifactor authentication. We'll also discuss how knowledge-based authentication fits into multi-factor authentication and how it may help businesses protect their data from cyber-attacks. Finally, we'll talk about the future of MFA and KBA.

Securing SaaS: Key Challenges and Effective Mitigation Strategies

“…Vendors' lock-in reliance is also an aspect that need examination as the analysts may excessively depend on the basis or the system of the particular provider which is ineffective and a matter which does not allow innovation in technology handling. [14], [15] On the contrary to the specific viewpoint of the Secure confirmation and section control systems, the matter is very serious as it affects the integrity of the information. Examples of common login tasks include the use of weak username-password combinations which can be used to crack passwords, while the lax controls on information can also lead to unauthorized access and alterations.…”

“…This happens when a company announces their own proprietary solution for technology which hampers the user from switching to another supplier. [14], [15]…”

Security challenges in cloud computing: A comprehensive analysis

“…Users who experience difficulty transferring data between cloud providers raise concerns regarding vendor lock-in and highlight the challenge of data portability. Selecting cloud services that actively promote data portability and conform to open standards is advised in order to solve this problem [71], [72]. Users can help to ensure more seamless data migration procedures by giving priority to these features.…”
