Enhancing Security in Multi-Tenant Cloud Environments: Threat Detection, Prevention, and Data Breach Mitigation

Abstract

Although multi-tenant cloud infrastructures are more cost-effective and scalable, they also raise serious security issues, especially with regard to insider threats and data breaches. The security and integrity of data are seriously threatened by these dangers, which come from authorised users. By examining potential insider threats, risk factors, and mitigation techniques, this study investigates the vulnerabilities present in multi-tenant cloud infrastructures. To improve cloud security, a multi-layered security architecture is suggested, incorporating enhanced access control mechanisms, behavioral analytics, and Zero Trust Architecture. Moreover, encryption, continuous monitoring, and employee awareness programs are also discussed as mandatory elements for risk mitigation. With the implementation of proactive security measures, organizations can solidify their defenses against new cyber threats and maintain safe cloud operations.
