Abstract

Nowadays, cloud computing is the preferred choice of any organization based on information and communication technology due to its flexible services and outstanding pay-as-you-go features. Some cloud-based networks face various security challenges due to the lack of fixed infrastructure and centralized management. However, the security and privacy of cloud computing systems is a fundamental problem of cloud computing due to their distributed architecture and vulnerability to unwanted inputs. The role of unwanted attack detection systems in cloud security is very important because it acts as a preventive security layer and, in addition to identifying known attacks, can detect many unknown attacks. In this article, we intend to review these systems and describe approaches to deal with the challenge of intrusion into cloud computing services.
