Host Based Network Intrusion Detection System in Virtual Machine

Cloud computing gaining popularity in the recent era. In past few year security is the main issue in the cloud computing. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) is mainly used: to identify possible attacks, collect all information about that attack and finally give this information to the system administrator. The IDS is used to detect the security level in many organization. In a Cloud computing, attackers can find the vulnerabilities in the cloud systems and compromise the virtual machines to set out large scale Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDOS) attack. This is very difficult to avoid this attack in the cloud computing environment. To prevent vulnerable virtual machines from being compromised in the cloud computing, I have proposed a multi-phase distributed vulnerability detection, measurement, and countermeasure (NICE).
