Implementing Intrusion Management as Security-as-a-service from cloud

In Security-as-a-service model the objective is to provide security as one of the cloud services. In this model the security is provided from the cloud in place of on-premise implementation. The Intrusion Management comprises of methods for intrusion detection, intrusion prevention and response to intrusions. In physical environments Intrusion management methods have already matured. However, due to growth of cloud computing, virtualization and multi-tenant resource sharing there are new targets for intrusion due to their complex structure. There are several issues related to intrusion detection and prevention in a cloud environment, and even in a traditional environment with intrusion management service to be delivered as a service from the cloud. This paper provides implementation framework for cloud-based intrusion management from the cloud as a service. The management is easy and efficient through Web-based console anywhere, anytime. The Intrusion Management-SecaaS implemented as the cloud service can benefit the user with all the advantages offered by Security-as-a-service (SecaaS). The proof of concept (POC) prototype of Intrusion Management IM - SecaaS is implemented and evaluated successfully.
