A Survey on Anomaly Detection Methods to Secure Data in Cloud Computing Environment

Abstract

Cloud computing is the latest technology in use and under research. Cloud computing is totally related subject to internet. Cloud is huge memory storage where clients can manage their data in a cloud service provider. Lack of security the intruders can easily access data. The integrity, security and availability of cloud clients need to be protected against various threats. The security is challenging issue in cloud computing. An intrusion Detection and prevention system is shortly known as IDPS is employed into cloud environment. This is due to knowing about any harmful behaviour of the systems in the network. To provide security to data stored in cloud, various intrusion detection techniques can be used by cloud service providers. Anomaly detection is one of popular intrusion detection technique. The concept of anomaly detection system to detect and prevent the abnormal activities in the cloud computing environment was discussed in this paper.
