Case Study: Q2 2014 Global DDoS Attack Report | Akamai DocumentProlexic
The Brobot botnet that devastated banks with DDoS floods in 2013 may be back. And the techniques that built it – exploiting vulnerabilities in the software that powers websites and cloud companies – is all too alive.

A security model for cloud computing based on autonomous biological agentsijccsa
Besides many advantage
s which cloud computing creates, there are different concerns such as security. In
this paper, the conceptual model based on Biological Immune System (BIS) will be proposed in order to
create security in cloud computing. BIS has several features such as
distributed computing, self
organizing, self
-
learning that are considered in distributed environments like clouds. In proposed model,
five groups of autonomous agents are used.
The structure of agents is based on Biological Agents (BA) that
have memory and
could use previous experiments. Agents have the ability to learn and interact with each
other. Each agent has different functions. Their designs are based on B and T lymphocyte. This model is
designed at two levels. In the first level, roles, relationship
and activities of each agent are described and
their components such as modules, programs and functions are shown in the second level. By using these
intelligent autonomous agents, attacks can be identified and intrusion can be prevented.
The proposed
mod
el is based on collaboration of the agents and doesn't need centralized management.

Amid concerns about government data security, like the recent OPM breach, Congress is considering cybersecurity information sharing legislation. But will a new information sharing program bolster federal information security? If not, what should be done instead?
