Studying the detection and analysis phase of the incident handling procedure, and applying new characteristics of the Cloud Computing model, we identified several requirements for a cloud provider and a cloud consumer.
Studying the detection and analysis phase of the NIST incident handling guideline[7], and applying new characteristics of the Cloud Computing model, we identified several requirements for a cloud provider and a cloud consumer.
Efficient selection of cloud services constitutes significant management challenges for cloud consumer, which is tedious and involves large information processing.
Cloudyn provides an interesting tangential service for enterprise cloud consumers.
In addition to the two primary entities, namely, cloud service providers (CSPs) that offer software applications, platforms or infrastructure for their cloud consumers, other roles have emerged.
As a further example, another survey [22] about Cloud computing, from the perspective of SMEs, shows that security and the liability for incidents involving the infrastructure are major concerns for potential Cloud consumers among SMEs at present.
Based on the delivery type and technology of the utilized cloud service model, the data collection can be implemented in the following two areas: The two primary areas for evidence collection on the cloud consumer side are devices and networks used by the users to access cloud services.
Event monitoring APIs ease systematic incident detection for cloud consumers and even third parties.
It has several advantages specifically for cloud consumers, including: It can disconnect potentially infected instances from the rest of the consumer's instance.
In [8], the authors focused on the benefits for cloud consumers in contrast to [9], where the focus is on maximizing profit and QoS of the cloud providers by utilizing the resources of partnering cloud providers to meet the peak demand.
