T0190 - Weak encryption
A weak encryption attack in cloud security occurs when an attacker exploits vulnerabilities in the encryption mechanism used by a cloud service to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
This can happen when the encryption algorithm used by the cloud service is weak or when the encryption keys are not properly managed.

Mitigation
Use strong encryption algorithms
Implementing strong encryption algorithms with appropriate key lengths and security parameters can significantly increase the resilience of encryption at rest mechanisms.
Organizations should use industry-standard encryption algorithms that are widely recognized and reviewed by the security community.
For example, AES, ECC, RSA.

Mitigation
Implement regular patches and updates
Regular patches and updates are necessary to improve the security, performance, and reliability of software and systems.
They include bug fixes, security updates, and performance improvements.
Regular patches and updates also ensure compatibility with new technologies and can help maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
Failure to install patches and updates can leave systems vulnerable to security threats, cause system failures or crashes, and limit the functionality of software and systems.

Detection
Implement penetration testing
Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking or vulnerability assessment, is a proactive approach to mitigating cybersecurity risks.
It involves simulating real-world cyber attacks on a system, network, or application in a controlled and authorized manner to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors.

Detection
Implement vulnerability assesment
Vulnerability assessment is a proactive approach to mitigating cybersecurity risks by systematically identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in a system, network, or application.
It involves conducting regular assessments to identify potential weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers, and taking appropriate actions to remediate or mitigate those vulnerabilities.

Detection
Implement Intrusion Detection System and anti-malware
An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a security tool designed to detect and alert on unauthorized access to a computer system or network.
Implementing intrusion detection systems (IDS) and anti-malware software can help to identify and block malicious activity.
IDS is a critical security tool that helps organizations to detect and respond to security incidents in a timely manner.
By providing real-time monitoring and analysis of network traffic, IDS can help organizations to stay ahead of potential threats and reduce the risk of a security breach.
