Abstract
In recent years the need for using cloud environment has increased abundantly. Threats to cloud computing are also rising with its usage. Among various threats to cloud, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a main threat today. DDoS attack compromises the availability of the services and risks everything including financial loss, losing reputation, and loss of confidence of cloud users over the organization. To avoid this we need more profound and elegant way to secure cloud structure from DDoS attack. In this paper, we discuss recent development and protection mechanisms (i.e., prevention, detection, and response) against DDoS attack in cloud environment. These methods include preventive measures that are applied before the attack, detection method that can be applied while the attack is live, and responsive methods that are applied after the attack. This paper discusses about DDoS attack problem, currently proposed solutions, and research scope possible in future to deal with such attacks efficiently.
