Infrastructure attack vectors
- [Instructor] Now, we will take a closer look at some important cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities. Because cloud computing brings additional attack vectors that need to be considered. In addition to new technical and governance risk, cloud computing uses new technology such as virtualization, federated identity management, and automation through a management interface. It also introduces external service providers to some of the main, new attack vectors, including guest escape, where another user can leave their segregated resource to attack another user.
