VMGuard: A VMI-based Security Architecture for Intrusion Detection in Cloud Environment
Abstract
Introduction
VMGuard: A VMI-based Security Architecture for Intrusion Detection in Cloud Environment is a substitute for a real machine. VMs provide the functionality needed to run the entire OS. On the virtual machine, many operating systems and software can be installed. A hypervisor uses native execution to share and manage hardware that allows multiple environments on the same physical machine that are isolated from one another. Virtual machine attacks include VM-to-VM attacks, hypervisor attacks, Denial-Of-Service attacks, breakage of isolation, vulnerabilities in remote management, etc. The virtual machine monitors are thus used to inspect or monitor virtual machines.
System Configuration
Platform : cloud computing
Conclusion
We reviewed the existing VMI architectures in this paper and proposed an enhanced VMI architecture to detect the attacks and increase the security of the cloud. Using VMI agent and attacker analyzer, the misbehaved users should be successfully blocked at the gateway level. Using Update Checker, the VM will be checked for security vulnerability updates. In such cases, the user would not be allowed to access the admin’s hidden files.
