Abstract

The Cloud security is one of the major obstacles to the adoption of cloud computing services. It requires some solutions such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) for protecting each user against all malicious. Existing IDS because of lower detection rate and higher false positive rate couldn’t be suitable for a distributed environment such as the cloud. To tackle this problem, we propose a new distributed intrusion detection system based on a multi-agent system to identify and prevent known and unknown attacks in this environment. Carried out experiments demonstrated the performance and efficiency of our proposed system integrated with multi-agent technology.
