An attentive security mechanism to openstack cloud environment using enhanced log analysis

Abstract

The security threat is a significant problem to the cloud environment in the current era. Providing security to the cloud without compromising the unique features of cloud computing such as high availability, scalability, etc. are needing to address whenever propose a security solution to the cloud environment. The authentication mechanisms and deployment of various cryptanalytical algorithms are one of the effective ways to prevent data leakage. Even though the security mechanisms can provide security to the data environment, there are different performance issues which will severely affect the unique features of cloud computing. This work has implemented with a method of deploying security to the cloud environment using the analysis of various cloud system logs collected from the OpenStack cloud.
