Abstract

Organizations and individuals adopted cloud computing due to its scalability and flexibility. At the same time, it has become more vulnerable due to the interactions of various cloud stakeholders. One of the most popular security mechanisms for detecting various attacks on the cloud is the Intrusion Detection System (IDS). This paper presents an overview of different cloud intrusion detection techniques. Further, we highlight the use of IDS along with various Machine Learning (ML) techniques.
