\"IDS in the Cloud\" Please respond to the following:
(a) Explain whether or not you believe technologies such as IDS are still relevant and useful as
there is a push toward SaaS and cloud-based solutions.
(b) Discuss from your perspective how cloud-based services change incident response, for better
or worse, and determine what you believe to be the greatest preparedness concern with cloud-
based services.
PLEASE NO COPY AND PASTING
Solution
(a)
IDS - Intrusion Detection systems
To prevent threat over once computer security firewall and encryption techniques were invented.
Although, the intruders could still hack one\'s system. To prevent this, Intrusion detection
systems were introduced which provide the following advantages:
1.Continuously monitors and analyzes the activities of the user and system.
2.Uses pattern recognition for recognizing typical kinds of attacks.
3.Tracks user policy violations.
3. Recognizes abnormal activities through pattern recognition.
SaaS: Software as a Service
1.SaaS is a model for Software licensing and delivery which is hosted on internet on subscription
basis and made available for the internet users.
2. It is one of the categories of cloud computing, where in instead of simply installing and
maintaining software you keep it over the internet which is easily maintainable from complex
software management.
Intrusion detection systems are still relevant to protect one\'s private data although Cloud
computing exists.
(b) Security and Incident response is a major subject which many vendors try to overcome.
At high level, the process defines six stages of incident response :
Preparation,identification,containment,eradication,recovery,lessons learned.
Five challenges or risks or concerns faced with cloud computing:
1.Privacy and Security.
2.Cloud transition.
3.Data access
4.Service quality
5.Data accessibility..
