| Abstract | The cloud has become an established and widespread paradigm. This success is due to the gain of flexibility and savings provided by this technology. However, the main obstacle to full cloud adoption is security. The cloud, as many other systems taking advantage of the Internet, is also facing threats that compromise data confidentiality and availability. In addition, new cloud-specific attacks have emerged and current intrusion detection and prevention mechanisms are not enough to protect the complex infrastructure of the cloud from these vulnerabilities. Furthermore, one of the promises of the cloud is the Quality of Service (QoS) by continuous delivery, which must be ensured even in case of intrusion. This work presents an overview of the main cloud vulnerabilities, along with the solutions proposed in the context of the H2020 CLARUS project in terms of monitoring techniques for intrusion detection and prevention, including attack-tolerance mechanisms. |
