Review on state of art intrusion detection systems designed for the cloud computing paradigm

Abstract

Cloud Computing is an emerging technology that enhances capability, usability and scalability of computer systems. On account of some exclusive features, cloud computing system always differs from the traditional computer system; not only the capabilities but also the vulnerabilities and threats. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a significant component of computer system security and compliance practices that protects computer systems from various types of malicious activities and attacks. Intrusion Detection Systems have been evolved over decades and various types of systems are currently available to identify and eradicate attacks based on different system conditions and different aptitudes. The main purpose of this paper is to review the state-of-art Intrusion Detection Systems available for cloud computing paradigm, which adhere to features of cloud computing architecture. Scalability, elasticity, reliability, performance, security and distributed nature of the Intrusion Detection Systems will be reviewed in order to identify suitable approaches for cloud computing.
