The Importance of IDS and IPS in Cloud Computing Environment: Intensive Review and Future Directions

Abstract

Cloud computing paradigm produce several network access resources for example, storage server and networking. A vast number of transactions over the cloud computing attract the cyber criminals to attack on the sensitive credential of the users. Therefore, the users feel unsafe to store their data on the clouds, despite remarkable interest in the cloud-based computing. Data security is the main issue, since data of an organization provides an alluring target for cyber-criminals. It will cause to reduce the development of the distributed computing, in case the researchers failed to address these security issues on time. Thus, intrusion detection and prevention systems must be updated with the current advancement. In this paper we present an intensive review for the most related work done for IDS/IPS. Furthermore, it shows that IDS/IPS are under the deployment since four decades.
