Abstract

Cloud computing has become popular due to its numerous advantages, which include high scalability, flexibility, and low operational cost. It is a technology that gives access to shared pool of resources and services on pay per use and at minimum management effort over the internet. Because of its distributed nature, security has become a great concern to both cloud service provider and cloud users. That is why Cloud Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) has been widely used to the cloud computing setting, which detects and in some cases prevents intrusion. In this paper, the authors have proposed a conceptual framework that detects intrusion attacks within the cloud environment using Ant Lion Optimization (ALO) algorithm for feature selection and Bayesian Classifier. This framework is expected to detect cloud intrusion accurately at low computational cost and reduce false alert rate.
