Security mechanism against malicious attacks from intruders in cloud computing environments

Abstract

Cloud computing is a booming internet driven technology, which renders a pool of resources such as network, storage, and applications on- demand basis. The cloud Services must be highly secured so that it increases the adoption of cloud for enterprise business management. The cloud services are shared by multitenant using internet channel which is a vulnerable to attacks. Cloud computing is exposed to many threats. This paper discusses different techniques and extends with the issues such as challenges, security attacks, DDoS attacks and intrusion detection methods. Cloud computing allows huge volume of storage on web which makes available the data and services in distributed environment. Intruders target the cloud based data due to its storage nature.
