IMPROVING VIRTUAL MACHINE SECURITY THROUGH INTELLIGENT INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Virtualization is the key feature of cloud computing which facilitates sharing of common resources among cloud users. As cloud computing is a shared facility and accessed remotely, it is vulnerable to various attacks. The shared resources may be exploited by the attackers through vulnerabilities. Virtualization technology is implemented by instantiating a virtual machine to each cloud user based on their requirements. Many virtual machines are instantiated on a single physical infrastructure. Although this virtualization technology is more beneficent for the users by means of low cost and for service providers by means of better utilization, it has several risks, in which security is the major one. Benefits of virtualization go beyond the cost savings. By better planning and management virtualization risk can be mitigated. The proposed work secures virtual machines by creating VM profiles, packet monitoring and by conducting periodic centralized vulnerability scans. It is consistent because both signature based and anomaly based IDS are combined. It is efficient because only the VMs affected by infected packets are scanned for vulnerability.
