Cloud Security Enhancement Through Intrusion Detection System

Abstract

Cloud Computing is a flexible, cost-effective, and an efficient delivery platform for providing consumer IT services and business services over the Internet.However, Cloud Computing presents a great level of risk because essential services are often outsourced to a third party, which brings in risk to data security and privacy. In this paper, we explore the different concepts involved in cloud computing, vulnerabilities in this kind of systems and various ways to handle these security concerns. Advanced technologies such as intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) and analysis tools have become prominent in the network environment. They involve with organizations to enhance the security of their information assets and make the systems and networks more secure.

Keywords:Cloud Computing; Cloud Security; Vulnerabilities; Intrusion Detection System; Intrusion Prevention System.
