Shared Tenancy Vulnerabilities. In a multi-tenant environment, such as the cloud, a “container” vulnerability can allow an attacker to compromise containers of other tenants on the same host. Flaws in chip design can also result in the compromise of tenant information in the cloud through side-channel attacks.

well, hybrid clouds are also shared... why would it only apply to public clouds?

C. don't over think this. Public cloud is shared.

Shared tenancy is a risk that is specifically associated with hosting applications in the public cloud. Public cloud providers offer shared resources to multiple customers on the same physical infrastructure. This means that multiple virtual machines and applications from different customers are running on the same physical server. While cloud providers take measures to isolate and secure these resources, there is always a risk of potential data leakage or unauthorized access if the isolation mechanisms are not robust.

Hosting applications in the public cloud means that multiple customers share the same physical infrastructure and resources provided by the cloud service provider. This shared infrastructure introduces the concept of "shared tenancy," where multiple customers' data and applications coexist on the same servers and network devices. While cloud providers implement strong security measures to isolate customer data, there is always a risk of a breach or misconfiguration that could potentially expose one customer's data to another. This risk is commonly associated with hosting applications in the public cloud.

shared tenancy model means that sensitive data, such as encryption keys, may be stored on the same physical hardware as other tenants, potentially increasing the risk of unauthorized access

C. Shared tenancy is a risk specifically associated with hosting applications in the public cloud. Public cloud environments typically host multiple tenants on the same physical hardware. While cloud providers implement security measures to ensure tenant separation and protection, the possibility of one tenant gaining unauthorized access to another tenant's data cannot be completely ruled out.

C. Shared tenancy is the risk associated with the Cloud.

A risk that is specifically associated with hosting applications in the public cloud is shared tenancy. Shared tenancy refers to the practice of multiple customers sharing the same physical infrastructure in a cloud environment. This can create security risks, as the actions of one customer can potentially impact the security and performance of other customers on the same infrastructure. Options A, B, and D are not specifically associated with hosting applications in the public cloud, although they can be potential risks in any computing environment.

"C" shared tenancy is a cloud specific threat. Insider threats are also applicable to on-prem

The answer has to be C, since A, B and D are not specific to cloud platforms.

"specifically associated with hosting applications in the public cloud" C: shared tenancy

I read this twice and still missed the "public " cloud. Shared Tenancy

Why would it be D? How is an insider threat "specifically associated with hosting applications in the public cloud?" Insider threats are everywhere - not just in the cloud.

I didnt read the question properly and chose Unsecured Accounts, this is wrong. The correct answer is Shared Tenancy given that the clue in the question is "Public" cloud.

C is the correct answer, cloud server are multi-tenant

Correct Answer: D
