Trusted CCIPS: A Trust Security Model for Cloud Services Based on a Collaborative Intrusion Detection and Prevention Framework

Abstract

Recent advances in cloud computing services have resulted in a significant increase in the number of organizations adopting cloud service models. This raises Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) concerns as well as trust related issues, particularly when the cloud hosts sensitive infrastructure and applications. In addition, cloud service providers face many challenges in maintaining customer CIA. This paper considers the detection and prevention of threats by proposing a trust model based on a Cooperative Cloud Intrusion Prevention System (CCIPS) framework. This model is based on enhanced detection and prevention via signature and anomaly based data analysis. It is shown to provide high performance and high availability via a cooperative approach to security for infrastructure and application based cloud service models.
