STUDY ON CLOUD-BASED IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT IN CYBER SECURITY

Abstract

Identity and access management (IAM) solutions have evolved throughout the years, with varying degrees of adoption and use. In many developing-world businesses, the usage of a username and password is still an IAM system. On the other hand, problems and consequences for businesses specific to this strategy have begun to surface. With its ease of use and strong security features, single sign-on (SSO) is quickly becoming one of the most popular identity and access management (IAM) systems for protecting cloud users from unauthorized access. Cloud computing has recently grown in popularity as a practical solution for individuals looking for a cheaper and more efficient way to store and run their data and applications. The construction of a data storage or application infrastructure out of a large collection of interconnected systems in a public or private network is what this paradigm in computer science is all about. Protecting data stored in the cloud has proven to be a formidable challenge for cloud service providers. Cloud service providers are protecting their infrastructure by using a variety of security management standards and techniques. However, hackers are using novel strategies and technological advancements to steal vital personal information, posing a severe risk to cloud security. Nowadays, hackers use sophisticated methods that are difficult to detect because of their ability to blend in with their surroundings. There are still security holes in cloud systems, but this research aims to fix them so that clients and servers can communicate freely without fear of eavesdroppers or channel listeners, and storage servers can resist attacks with more ease.
